A Syrian national has been charged with funneling over $9 million in U.S.-funded humanitarian aid to terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda. Mahmoud Al Hafyan, the head of a non-governmental organization (NGO), allegedly diverted the aid intended for Syrian civilians to armed combatant groups. He managed to sell the humanitarian kits on the black market to the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF), a designated foreign terrorist organization affiliated with al Qaeda in Iraq. Al Hafyan and his co-conspirators falsified beneficiary logs and inflated the number of food kits received by war-affected families in Syria.
