At the time as you well know Elgindys efforts where to help people in Bosnia.
That's rich. Tony efforts were, as an agent of an al Qeada humanitariam aid front, to solicit dontations, to finance transport of KLA members into the US.
al-Qadi made the same claims that you do. The "Mercy's" were sister branches. I find it funny that a scambuster, like yourself, does not understand the concept of a front.
Michigan-based Mercy International In the United States, Mercy International originally went by the name Human Concern International (HCI), an organization created in the 1980s to support the Afghan jihad against the Soviets. Their Pakistan offices were headed by Ahmed Khadr, a close associate of bin Laden and an al Qaeda moneyman. In 1989, HCI changed its name to Mercy International-USA and moved to Michigan. In response to news reports implicating "Mercy International" in the embassy attacks, Umar al-Qadi, president of Mercy in Michigan and founder of Mercy International Relief Agency in Canada, has publicly insisted that his organization had no relation to the organization in Kenya or the bombings themselves. Qadi explained that his group was named "Mercy International-USA" while the group in Kenya was "Mercy International Relief Agency." However, in July of 1995, Umar al-Qadi himself registered a "Mercy for International Relief Agency" in Ontario, Canada, which he described as a sister organization.
