A South African intelligence report accuses a Canadian aid organization of funnelling money to a Texas-based charity shut down this week for alleged support of the radical Palestinian group Hamas.
The report by South Africa’s National Intelligence Agency says an organization known as the Jerusalem Fund provided money to the Holy Land Foundation of Richardson, Texas, that ended up in the hands of Hamas.
“The Hamas infrastructure in Canada forms part of the infrastructure in the United States,” says the 1998 report, recently made public. “The Jerusalem Fund operating in Ontario is a source of funds for the Holy Land Foundation in the United States.”
In an interview, Mohamed Alkoka, the former chairman of the Jerusalem Fund for Human Services, denied any involvement with Hamas.

In a videotape of the 1998 event obtained by the National Post, Mr. Islam describes Israel as a “so-called new society” created by a “so-called religion” and urges the audience to donate to the Jerusalem Fund for Human Services to “lessen the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine and the Holy Land.”
The Jerusalem Fund is one of four “fronts” named in a secret Privy Council Office memo that was sent to Jean Chretien, then prime minister, on May 23, 2000, discussing what it called groups that “have unsavoury links with terrorism.”
