Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has accorded approval to Saudi based controversial group named Islamic Relief Organization [IRO] to re-start its operations in Bangladesh. Osma Bin Laden's brother-in-law, Mohammed Jamal Khalifah was working as the Finance Director of this group in Phillipines in 1988. He played important role in strengthening Al Qaida through IRA.
In 2006, Bangladesh government banned activities of this group for its allleged links with Al Qaida and other Islamist terror outfit. United States raised question about the Islamic Relief Organization stating that this group is patronizing various forms of terrorist activities in the world. According to US, IRA is engaged in spreading Jihadist activities around the world.
