Revival of Islamic Heritage Society
The Revival of Islamic Heritage Society is a charity the United States government listed on its Terrorist Exclusion List.[1] According to American intelligence analysts the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society also known as Jamia Ihya ul Turath and Jamiat Ihia Al-Turath AL-Islamiya.[2]
On January 9 2002 John O'Neill, the US Secretary of the Treasury, announced that an organization he identified as the Afghanistan Support Committee, and the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society, were associated with terrorism, and the US Treasury was going to freeze their assets in the USA, and that other countries had agreed to follow the US example.[3]
A release from the Treasury's Press Office alleged that the Pakistan office had inflated the number of orphans under its care.[4]
The allegation appears in the "Summary of Evidence" from pages Mohammed Fenaitel Mohamed Al Daihani's Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[1] Al Daihani, an accountant at Kuwait's State Audit Bureau, replied that the charity was “an official society from the Kuwaiti government”, and that more than a third of all Kuwaitis donated to it.[5]
