French counterterrorism magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguière wrote that the charity's members planned in the 1990s to fight in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Chechnya, according to a 2006 paper by Evan Kohlmann, a U.S. terrorism investigator. Calls were made in 1996 from IHH's headquarters to an al-Qaeda guesthouse in Milan, according to the report. And Bruguière testified during a 2001 trial related to a plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport that IHH was involved in weapons trafficking, Kohlmann wrote.
