German Islamic center raises money for Hezbollah

Excerpt:

The Al-Mustafa community center in the city-state of Bremen in northern Germany is a major hub for raising funds for the EU and US designated terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to a German intelligence report reviewed by The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

The Bremen intelligence agency’s newly released report in June stated that the “The Al-Mustafa Community center supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, especially by collecting donations.”

The Post uncovered the Shi’ite organization’s bank account--the Bremen-based Sparkasse. The Bremen intelligence agency (the rough equivalent to Shin Bet) said there are approximately 60 Hezbollah supporters in the Al-Mustafa organization and “the Arab-Shi’ite association functions as a point of contact for Shi’ite Muslims in Bremen, especially those from Lebanon.”
