In 2000, with the eruption of the Second Intifada, HAMAS and Palestinian Islamic Jihad's violence became unhinged. Still, there were also developments with the US-based Hamas infrastructure when the family of Hamas victim David Boim filed a civil lawsuit against the HLF and IAP, alleging they were liable for David's death. HLF leader Shukri Abu Baker urged HLF leader Mohamed El-Mezain to destroy material that would be discoverable in that case.  In 2001, the FBI conducted a surprise raid on a company related to the HLF and found thousands of secret documents.
