Australian police raid Muslim charity
Published: July 25, 2008
SYDNEY - Australian Federal Police raided a Muslim charity’s Sydney office, it was reported Thursday.
Police raided the office believed to belong to Muslim Aid Australia (MAA) on Thursday morning, the Sydney Morning Herald website reported.
A police spokeswoman confirmed a search warrant had been executed in Lakemba, the centre of Sydney’s Muslim community, but would not reveal further details.
The Australian newspaper reported earlier this month that the government was considering referring the charity to police over alleged links to a group banned as a terrorist organisation in Australia.
The organisation, Interpal, is a British-based pro-Palestinian organisation that the newspaper said had worked with MAA to distribute aid in Gaza.
MAA could not be contacted for comment.
