Charity 'had links with bin Laden'

An Oxford-based charity which claims to have 'excellent' relations with Oxfam is being investigated by the Charity Commission over allegations it has been used as a fund-raising front for Osama bin Laden.

The International Islamic Relief Organisation (IIRO), whose British contact details are an Oxford firm of accountants called Wenn Townsend, is the latest of a number of British-based groups to be investigated to try to stop funds flowing to the terrorist.
