On June 7, 2010, the "Taifatul Mansura" Turkish-speaking foreign fighter contingent active on the Afghan-Pakistani border issued a message on theTurkish Muslim charitable group Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH), sponsor of theGaza freedom flotilla. The message stated that “This organization, which wassincere at the beginning, was later used by the MIT (National IntelligenceOrganization) and the Psychological Warfare Department of Turkish GeneralStaff in order to prevent the emergence of a mujahideen movement that couldpose a threat to Turkish government. Both Chechen mujahideen and Turkishmujahideen who have taken part in operations in the Afghanistan Emirate arefully aware of the activities and scheming of this organization. None of thedonations collected by this organization and advertised as if they had beendelivered to the mujahideen were actually received by the mujahideen. Thisis public deception. We, the Taifatul Mansura Organization in the IslamicEmirate of Afghanistan, argue that this organization is only a burden to themujahideen. Amongst the devoted mujahideen who have fought in jihad for
years, this organization is worth nothing.”
