| 'Pak charity might have passed quake donations to ultras' | | | New York, Aug 14 :
Pakistani charity and front for a Kashmiri militant outift, Jamaat ud Dawa is believed to have sent some of the money raised in British mosques for POK quake victims to support militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir, investigators here said.
British and Pakistani investigators are also trying to determine whether those suspected of plotting to blow up US-bound planes may have received money raised for quake relief by Jamaat ud Dawa, the front for Lashkar-e-Toiba, the New York Times reported.
Jamaat ud Dawa, which is active in the mosques of Britain's largest cities, had played a significant role in carrying out relief efforts after last October's earthquake in POK.
According to a former British security official familiar with the investigation, the Times said, some of the money raised in British mosques also went to the group's militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
Some of those arrested might also have visited Kashmir to help the militants there. It is one of the most militant of the groups battling Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the paper said.
The investigators are looking into the possibility that the group passed the earthquake donations raised in British mosques to the plotters, the paper said quoting two people familiar with the investigation.
One former Pakistani official close to the intelligence officials there said Jamaat ud Dawa provided the money that was to be used to buy plane tickets for the suspects to conduct a practice run as well as the attacks themselves. |
