Top terror body impresses international aid workers
2005-10-28
Despite its name figuring in Pakistan government's ''watchlist'', several international organisations like WHO and UNICEF have closely worked with Jamat-ud-Dawa, an outfit linked with banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), in providing relief to quake victims in PoK. Various international relief organisations, including Red Cross, World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF, World Food Programme, UN Organisation for Refugees, Sikh welfare organisation Khalsa Aid and Singapore-based MCTH Association had been working with Dawa in quake-hit areas of PoK, Pakistani daily Nawai Waqt reported on Wednesday. These international agencies were "very impressed" with the "strong, well-linked and organised" network of Dawa and provided "huge relief goods" to it, the report said. Turkish and Indonesian doctors also presented their services to medical camps run by Dawa, it said, adding that World Food Programme (WFP) handed over two additional containers of relief goods to it. A WFP official told the in-charge of Dawa relief operation, Haji Javedul Hasan, that since his distribution method was better than others, the relief goods were handed over to him, the newspaper claimed. Jamat-ud-Dawa was the new organisation floated by its founder Hafeez Sayed after dissolving Markaz Dawa, the parent outfit of LeT in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in the US and the terrorist attack on Parliament House in December 2001.

#8  We're so fucking impressed with their ability to destroy goodwill and human dignity that we give them relief aid to distribute?

However I'm sure we have moles amongst these relief agencies.

Betty Lou, that nice WHO college girl nurse still loves her Uncle Sam and calls home to talk to him everyday.

But I concur, would the world send relief aid to the Nazis, fuck no, so what the fuck?

#5  Anybody wanna bet they'll get awarded a Nobel Peace Prize any day now?

(I didn't think anyone trick or treated for UNICEF anymore.)

#2  Ooooh, good move there, Unicef and WHO. Further legitimize and enhance the reputation of some murderous thugs. Way to go. I hope they take your workers hostage after the aid dries up. When that happens, please remind me to laugh and point.
