-- Evan Kohlmann, a U.S. terrorism consultant who wrote a 2006 paper on the group's radical links that is widely cited by Israeli analysts, told Reuters this week, "It has a loose relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, and it has taken a number of fairly extreme political positions that are uncharacteristic of a pure humanitarian group. It has been vocal in its support, whether material or political, for Islamic insurgents in Iraq and even Hamas in Gaza. That being said, most of the evidence of IHH's involvement in material wrongdoing dates back to between 1996 and 2005."
