The U.S. Treasury Department accused three Bosnian charities of funneling money to al-Qaeda and froze their assets. ``Today's action continues the international drumbeat to expose the terrorist nodes used to support the infrastructure of hate,'' Juan Zarate, the Treasury Department's Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Executive Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes, said in a statement. The charities designated today were Al Furqan, the Al- Haramain & Al Masjed Al-Aqsa Charitable Foundation, and Taibah International-Bosnia branch. The assets of each that exist in the U.S. have now been frozen and the Treasury asked the United Nations to request its member countries do the same.
