SRNA - May 8, 2004

Banja Luka, 8 May: Darko Trifunovic, an expert on international law and terrorism, confirmed to SRNA today that the US Treasury Department had frozen the assets of four humanitarian organizations registered in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Trifunovic said that the Americans had frozen 139m dollars in assets and seized 60m dollars from the four organizations in Bosnia-Hercegovina - Al Furgan, Al Haramain, Al Masjed al Agsa and Taibaihi Internesenel (Al Furqan, Al Haramain, Al Masjed Al-Aqsa and Taibah International).

Trifunovic added that Abdulrahman Alfahad had close links with the charities in Bosnia-Hercegovina and that he had used their money to set up the Rentakar company which "used its cars to operate unnoticed in the Balkans, transporting terrorists, drugs and explosives".

Trifunovic said that the German intelligence agency BND had received reports that the Rentakar company was linked to the Saudi intelligence agency and he recalled that it had been established earlier that "the Saudi High Commission is involved in helping terrorists".
