Somali tied to jihadists worked with two UN agencies

And why not? What does the UN do these days but play the dhimmi for the OIC, anyway? "Somali tied to Islamists worked with two UN agencies," by Louis Charbonneau for Reuters, March 11 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

UNITED NATIONS, March 11 (Reuters) - A Somali businessman linked to Islamist rebels who likely received a ransom paid for kidnapped French aid workers was a contractor for the World Food Program and UNICEF, a U.N. report said.

The confidential report by the U.N. Somalia Monitoring Group, seen by Reuters on Thursday, said the man, Adbdullah Ali Luway, and his links with Islamist al Shabaab militants was a case study in how U.N. agencies have unwittingly allowed aid for needy Somalis to enrich rebels and criminals.

Three French workers with humanitarian group Action Against Hunger were seized by gunmen in July 2009 and held for several months. In October, a ransom of $1.36 million was paid into an account belonging to Luway at a money transfer firm in Baidoa, Somalia, the report said.

"A prominent businessman, Luway serves as a contractor for WFP and UNICEF in the Baidoa area," it said, adding that he rents vehicles to both agencies and his water firm Gargarwadag often works for UNICEF.

He also receives $3,000 a month in rent from UNICEF, the United Nations children's fund, for use of a building that formerly housed the parliament of Somalia, a virtually lawless country that has lacked an effective government since 1991.

In addition to his work with the United Nations, Luway had been the "local financier" of the al Shabaab authority in Baidoa since the Islamist group took control of the area in January 2009. He is a "close associate" of Sheikh Muktar Robow Abuu Mansuur, a senior al Shabaab official, the report said.

The United States lists Robow as a terrorist....

Luway was just performing zakat here by financing the jihad.

"......U.N. agencies have unwittingly allowed aid for needy Somalis to enrich rebels and criminals."

Unwittingly enriching rebels and criminals.....
Hamas and the 'Palestinians' also springs to mind.
But hardly unwittingly, is it?
I mean, for 60 years?

Infidelophobia Watch.
Documenting anti Infidel bigotry

Stop the money. Stop financing the UN, UNRWA and all their bootlickers and hangers on. Disband the ridiculous yuman rites circus that aids and abets and finances Islam terror. Raid ACORN and the ACLU and remove the Islamic infil-traitors from the FBI, the CIA and agents like Grover Norquist from positions of influence.

I know it won't, it can't happen as long as the 0bast*rd is in the highest position,a position he only obtained through vote buying, manipulation and race huckstering.

But he will be gone, soon, he needs to be gone, sooner is better, because the damage he does is irreversible.

The UN needs to be closed down or at the very least seriously weeded of all the tinpot countries that are represented therein at the moment. These 'representatives' live it up in the West in luxurious accommodation paid by us the taxpayers, driving luxury cars and travelling first class everywhere. They do nothing to improve the situation of the world's poor, and are blatantly and openly pro-Islamist and anti Israel. Most of these representatives are corrupt hailing from corrupt and primitive regimes. The whole UN thing has been a joke over the last 60 years. Time to act. But, who will do the acting? Obambi, Brown, any European president? Unfortunately there is not a thread of common sense among any of these so called leaders and until the right thinking people take over the running of western governments nothing will change and we will continue to pay.

U.N. agencies have unwittingly allowed aid for needy Somalis to enrich rebels and criminals.

UNwittingly huh...There's a whole lot of UNwittingly going on...The two favorite drugs of the UNwitting are power and money...Maybe they are not so UNwitting after all...

Is, perhaps, the term "Unwittingly" the infidel equivalent of "Misunderstander of Islam"?

For example, "The police officer unwittingly allowed the jihadist past the security scanner because he was reading his guide to Muslim rights at the time".

Or, "I unwittingly failed to act on my suspicions".

There might be a new word to add to the lexicon.
