DALLAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - A U.S. District Court judge declared a mistrial on Monday on almost all of the counts against an Islamic charity accused of illegally funneling money to the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

"You are at the end of your service in this case," presiding Judge A. Joe Fish told the jurors before declaring a mistrial on the vast majority of the nearly 200 counts applying to the six accused, including the Holy Land Foundation itself.

One of mistrials involved defendant Mufid Abdulqader, after the judge initially read a verdict of not guilty against him on all 32 counts against him. But at least one juror signaled disagreement with the verdict that had been read in Abdulqader's case.
