This isn't Mr. Roger's neighborhood, kids

Working with terrorists is in line with the the goals of UNICEF? Is that what the UN is saying in this? Help the terrorists to build more training camps for children to learn to kill and slaughter?

I start to despise the UN more every time they do something stupid like this! Where are the people with brains to help them out?

This isn't Mr. Roger's neighborhood, kids: "The United Nations Children's Fund has announced an agreement with an organization linked by the U.S. government to al-Qaida and the Taliban to work to improve services to children in Saudi Arabia.

The announcement from UNICEF this week confirmed a new memorandum of understanding with the International Islamic Relief Organization 'to strengthen cooperation and support for children's rights, health, equality and protection in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries.'

The U.S. Treasury Department, however, identifies the IIRO as a group with one leader who 'provided donor funds directly to al-Qaida and is identified as a major fundraiser for the Abu Sayyaf (ASG) and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) (terror organizations).'

A leader, Adb Al Hamid Sulaimian Al-Mujil, often directs funds be transferred to the IIRO organizations blamed by the government for terrorism, including training al-Qaida operatives, in the Philippines and Indonesia, the report said.

'The partnership with IIROSA is in-line with UNICEF's policy that encourages the exchange of expertise and experiences regionally and internationally; and to collaborate and join forces as part of the Millennium Development Goals,' said Ayman Abu Laban, who is the UNICEF representative for the region."
