Arif Baig, a 50-year-old Pakistani who runs a convenience store in Little Havana, said he could not believe the allegations and questioned if law enforcement was stereotyping the elder Khan.
"What a stupid thing to say," Baig said. "He is an old man. People who come to this country send money back home."
He added, "There is not even a 1 percent chance that he would do this."

Members of the Margate Mosque went door to door and handed out food and water to the mostly Jewish retirement community it borders after the last hurricanes came through in 2005. It wasn't a very popular program with many residents.
