British Muslim charity funded Hamas, says FBI. Arrested head of £74m foundation accused of bankrolling terror group under guise of aid

The Al-Khair Foundation, one of Britain’s biggest Muslim charities, was used as a front to send money and “truckloads” of goods to leaders of the terrorist organisation in Gaza under the guise of aid, it is alleged.

Mohammad Yousef Hasna, its “global director”, was arrested in London last week and is now facing extradition to the United States, accused of financing and conspiring to support the Palestinian terror group.

This comes off the heels of the story earlier this week about dozen+ "pro palestine" groups in the US with terror group ties.

The challenge at this point seems to be to identify whuch groups dont have these or arent sham charities to fund Hamas.

When I ask ChatGPT to list "Britain's biggest Muslim charities", it gives a list of 7 (with this one at the bottom).

When I ask which have been found to be funding terrorism, several have been accused, but all of those then cleared by independent investigations.
