Charity Work, Cover-Up for Terrorism

It is true that things are not always what they seem, especially in politics or in organizing suicide-bomb plots. This is the case of eight asylum seekers who allegedly tried to escape the terror Libyan regime of Colonel Gaddafi, but in exchange they ended up into anti-terror police's hands.


The ten men were suspected they provided financial assistance to British-based suicide bombers launch attacks on allied forces in Iraq. The money allegedly came from charity work.

All of them were apparently having ties with a charity organization called the Sanabel Relief Agency, based in Birmingham and with offices in Manchester, Middlesbrough and London. The organization, which officially raises money for aiding poor Muslims all around the world, is thought to have provided money to at least two suicide bombers who traveled to Iraq in order to attack the troops deployed there.

The idea of charity work is completely opposite of what the US authorities, the MI5 and the anti-terror police believe, that it is a group of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, with direct ties to al Qaeda and the Talibans in Afghanistan.

Out of the ten men detained yesterday, two were relieved of charges, but the rest remained in custody. Six of them were arrested in the Manchester area, one in Merseyside and another one in London, as 500 police forces along with the Immigration Service, led by Greater Manchester Police's anti-terrorism unit, conducted raids at 19 addresses in five force areas.

Three of the men were detained under the provisions of the Terrorism Act and the rest of five according to the Home Secretary's powers, which stipulate that the office can deport all those whose behavior "is not conducive to the public good for reasons of national security".
