Leaders of the Islamic Society of Boston broadened their defamation suit yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court to add conspiracy charges against a group of journalists and scholars who the Muslim leaders allege sought to ruin the reputations of the society and its leaders and prevent construction of a major mosque in Boston.

The suit alleges that Sapers initially attempted to undermine the project by damaging the Islamic Society's relations with the college through unfounded statements to officials of the college that the society's leaders were associated with Muslim terrorist organizations.
