Brits freeze charity funds for al-Qaeda involvement
The government froze the assets of a Muslim charity in Britain after a similarly named U.S. group was designated a terrorist organization with alleged links to the al-Qaida network. The Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage, based in Stratford, east London, is being investigated by the government Charity Commission for possible links with the U.S.-based Revival of Islamic Heritage Society, which the U.S. Treasury placed on its list of designated terrorist organizations.
