A Saudi “humanitarian” organization that operates in Canada is tied to Hamas and Al Qaeda, according to a CIA report from 1996: Islamic group funded terror from Ontario.

The International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) is named in the 1996 document as one of 15 organizations that “employ members or otherwise facilitate the activities of terrorist groups in Bosnia.”

The document ties the group, which has an office in Ontario, to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, a man convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and plots to kill the Pope and attack U.S. airliners.

“The majority of Hamas members in the Philippines are employed by the organization,” it says, adding, “the IIRO helps fund six militant training camps in Afghanistan, according to a clandestine source.”

The report also claims the Bosnian and Swedish offices of the Ottawa-based charity Human Concern International were connected to terrorism and weapons smuggling, but a spokesman said the group never had offices in either country.

The report was obtained from the law firm Motley Rice, which has filed a class-action suit on behalf of family members of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. The suit targets dozens of Islamic charities and Saudi officials for their alleged roles in financing al-Qaeda.

The document was identified as a “CIA report” by special agent David Kane, an official in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in a court affidavit made public this week in Virginia.
