British aid charity in ‘terror’ inquiry

Arab and Foreign Press

Police are investigating a British charity amid fears that extremists in the UK are channeling money to “rebels” in Syria who are backed by al-Qaeda.

Officers launched their inquiry after seizing tens of thousands of pounds in cash at Dover from a group of men on their way to the Middle East. They were travelling on behalf of a charity called Aid Convoy. Its trustees include a British-based Syrian who was accused — but later acquitted — of involvement with the Madrid train bombers who killed 191 people.

The Sunday Times has learnt that supporters of Aid Convoy have previously been stopped and questioned at Folkestone under anti-terrorism laws before being allowed to continue their journey abroad.

Other individuals linked to Aid Convoy include a radical cleric who allegedly praised the 9/11 attacks in front of children and an extremist who set fire to giant poppies on Armistice Day while shouting “British”.
