THE German authorities are investigating contacts between a Briton being questioned over the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airlines and a key figure in the September 11, 2001, terrorist cell.
Intelligence sources said that, at Britain’s request, they were examining possible links between the suspect and Said Bahaji, the computer expert in the Hamburg cell that planned the suicide hijackings in 2001.
And they're looking into the financing of the operation.
The Charity Commission, the Government’s charity watchdog, said that it was treating allegations that money raised to help victims of the Kashmir earthquake had been diverted to terror cells as “an immediate priority”.
The commission said that it would look into the activities of Crescent Relief, a registered charity based in Ilford, East London, which was involved in the relief effort last year.
One of its founding trustees was Abdul Rauf, the father of Rashid Rauf, 25, who is being held in Pakistan and named as a “key suspect” in the ongoing inquiry.
I don't trust the Charity Commission to investigate this. Not after their botched investigation of Galloway's oil for food money scandal. Months ago the Commission said they would reopen the investigation. Since then, nothing. Besides, why are they left to investigate this matter and not the security services?
UPDATE
As commenter, Will, points out the Charity Commission has already botched another investigation into a charity with ties to terrorists.
