Sanabal Charitable Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sanabal Charitable Committee is a charity the United States government listed on its Terrorist Exclusion List.^[1]

The allegation appears in the "Summary of Evidence" from Mohammed Fenaitel Mohamed Al Daihani's Combatant Status Review Tribunal.^[1] The Combatant Status Review Tribunal states:

"The Sanabal Charitable Committee is considered a fund raising front for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.
"The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group is listed as a terrorist organization in the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security Terrorist Organization Reference Guide.

Al Daihani, an accountant at Kuwait's State Audit Bureau, stated that he thought the Sanabal Committee was a legitimate charity, with its headquarters in London.^[2]

The BBC reports that these raids are linked to the support the insurgency in Iraq. Seven other people where arrested and charged at the same time on a mix of terrorism and immigration charges. Mr Nasuf is due to be deported back to Libya under new powers given to the Home Secretary to deport any foreign national thought to be a security threat.
