Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
It is funny that you ask because this past Sunday I just read a kind of update article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch (in case you want to read the whole thing... it is worth it... I guess [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] ).
Basically, some guy worked for IARA years ago and later in life bought a phone for Osama. So years later, the US government decides to act upon this "great threat" and shut down an organization that helped ophans in need. What it comes down to is that there are really no answers as to why it was so imperitive to close IARA at that moment. It either should have happened earlier when it would have seemed more legit or just not at all and let muslims help one another. It is just all so silly.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
