Charity linked to Crawley suicide bomber investigated

A charity through which a man from West Sussex travelled to Syria where he blew himself up with a truck bomb is being investigated by the Charity Commission.

The regulator said it had opened a statutory inquiry into Children in Deen to investigate “serious concerns” about governance and financial management.

Abdul Waheed Majeed, 41, a father-of-three from Crawley, joined one of the charity’s aid convoys last year.

He went on to carry out a suicide bomb attack at a Syrian prison in February.
