Mitre

Care International
Care International began as the Boston branch of the Al Kifah Refugee Center, and changed its name to Care after press reports tied Al Kifah to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Care operated from 1993 to 2003 and was alleged to have funded al-Qaeda operations in Chechnya and Bosnia. US prosecutors have alleged that Care International and the Global Relief Foundation have a "shared lineage, purpose, finances, and activities", and that Care directly funded Maktab al-Khidamat, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Benevolence International, and the Holy Land Foundation. Care produced a newsletter, al-Hussam, which advocated in support of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria, and al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya.

In 2008, Care employees Emadeddin Muntasser, Muhammed Mubayyid, and Samir al-Monla were convicted of tax fraud for registering Care as a tax-exempt charity, but the conviction was thrown out by presiding judge Donald Saylor. The conviction was reinstated by an appeals court in 2011.
