- Share via
The Treasury Department accused a Sudan-based relief organization and five of its officials of helping finance Osama bin Laden and other terrorists.
The action means U.S. banks must block any assets in this country belonging to the Islamic African Relief Agency and the officials. People in the United States are not allowed to provide money to them.
The department said the group has more than 40 offices worldwide, including one in Columbia, Mo., called the Islamic American Relief Agency. Officials seized computers and other items from the Missouri site.
