(NEWS) IHH Terrorist Ties Confirmed

"The U.S. government has verified that IHH, the Turkish-based organization that launched the Mavi Marmara ship raided by Israel on Monday, has ties to Hamas.

Assistant Secretary of State P.J. Crowley told reporters Wednesday: 'We know that IHH representatives have met with senior Hamas officials in Turkey, Syria and Gaza over the past three years,' and 'That is obviously of great concern to us.'

In addition, French intelligence expert Jean Louis-Bruguiere stated in an interview with the Associated Press that IHH leaders 'were basically helping al-Qaida when (Osama) bin Laden started to want to target U.S. soil.'"
