 British and Pakistani intelligence agencies are investigating another UK-based Muslim charity active in Pakistan for its alleged involvement in terror financing, it emerged on Sunday, as 15 people were arrested in southern Punjab in connection with the alleged plot to blow up aircraft in the UK. Investigators are already looking at one UK-based charity, called the Muslim Charity, that allegedly sent large sums of money to three individuals in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, under the guise of quake relief but for the actual purpose of funding the alleged UK plane bombing plot, according to official sources.

The new charity, which has been under surveillance for several months, is also said to have provided funds, to individuals in Quetta last year. The charity asked the recipients of the money to sacrifice animals on Eidul Azha and give the meat to the poor, the sources said. Sources said the UK investigators are trying to establish whether the charity remitted the money through the formal banking system. Pakistani investigators believe the funds could have found their way here through the informal Hawala mode of payment, the sources said.
