More Islamophobia in Britain. From the Telegraph, with thanks to JE:
Five British men have had their assets frozen amid accusations they used a charity to help fund a terrorist organisation linked to al-Qa'eda.The men had their assets frozen after an order by the United Nations Security Council. It is alleged they used the Sanabel Relief Agency Limited and three companies to fund the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.
They were named as Tahir Nasuf, 44, from Manchester, Abd Al-Rahman Al Faqih, 46, Ghuma Abd'rabbah, 48, and Abdulbaqi Mohammed Khaled, 48, all from Birmingham, and Midlands-based Mohammed Benhammedi, 39.
The freeze came after a request from the American treasury, who claim that Sanabel's "first priority is providing support to the LIFG's jihadist activities", despite presenting itself as a reputable charity.
If convicted, strip these individuals of their citizenship and deport, following completion of their sentence.
Moreover, review the status of their families to first degree, i.e. spouse, parents, childrena dn siblings. Any support or awareness of the activities for which the accused may be convicted makes these individuals accessories before or after the fact. If found complicit, strip them of citizenship and repatriate them to country of origin or ancestry.
No relation, I take it, to Sanibel Island where the complacent Ted Koppel likes to complacently play golf?
"The men had their assets frozen after an order by the United Nations Security Council."
So, the big question remains: After all that involvement, and all those people at the UN get to see what is being requested, WAS THERE ANY MONEY LEFT IN THE ACCOUNTS? Frozen is one thing. Frozen with balances is another. Were the perps tipped off?
Any word on this?
Had my assets frozen once.
Sit on a hot water bottle for about twenty minutes, and all is fine.
I think the real problem is that their precepts are frozen.
In the 7th century.
FFS, "Five British men" they look like British names don't they. i hate it when the media describe terrorists as British or Britons, they are not and never will be.
