Al- Buqa'ee denies holy land foundation connection to terrorism
Jordan-USA, Politics, 12/21/2001

The representative of the " holy land" ( al-Ardh al-Muqaddasah) in Jordan has denied any connection for the charity society which he heads, which the US had closed its premises in the US recently, to terrorism.

According to news reports al-Buqa'ee said that this foundation " is concerned to charity work, helping widows, orphans and people in need, and has no connection to politics because its main concentration is social integration.."

He called on the American authorities to reconsider its closure because this foundation just gives support to deprived people and protects them against hunger and deprivation.
