Berlin: Germany authorities have charged a 37-year-old Iraqi with supporting an Al Qaida-linked group in Iraq, federal prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Burhan B. was arrested at Frankfurt airport in June 2006. He is accused of transferring 22,000 euros to the Ansar Al Islam group between November 2003 and May 2004.
The man has been formally charged with supporting a terrorist organisation and violating German foreign trade regulations, the Federal Prosecutors Office said in a statement.
Burhan B. was a close associate of an accused ringleader of Ansar Al Islam in Germany and one of three men currently on trial in Stuttgart.
