On November 26, 2008, the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba attacked 12 places in the Mumbai province of India. In this, 180 civilians, including 6 American citizens, were killed and hundreds of people were injured.

The US Agency for International Development, USAID, has been accused of supporting the Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a shadow charity of this terrorist organization.

According to a report by the Indian media Indian Times, the surprising thing is that even after FIF was proven to be a shadow organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba, USAID supported this organization.

Recently, an executive order by President Trump stopped global assistance through USAID. Then this allegation came to light again.

According to the report, USAID had been supporting the charity Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation until Trump’s ban.

The report also said that USAID supported FIF through the Michigan-based Muslim charity ‘Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD). This organization is also accused of supporting various terrorist organizations in 2019 or earlier.

Meanwhile, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has funded ‘ridiculous’ projects for years, the administration of US President Donald Trump has claimed.

The administration, citing documents released on Wednesday, said that US foreign aid money has been spent on unnecessary or controversial projects in many cases.

According to the BBC, according to the documents released, USAID allocated $ 500,000 to resolve sectarian violence in Israel, which was given just 10 days before the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. At least 1,200 people were killed in that attack.

USAID also gave $ 5 million to the NGO EcoHealth Alliance, which funded bat virus research in the Wuhan lab.

The Trump administration has claimed that at least $10 million in food aid has reached al-Qaeda-linked terrorist groups through USAID funds. The agency has also allocated millions of dollars to LGBT community activities in various countries, which the Trump administration wants to cancel.
