<b>NGOs, charities new face of terror in Hyderabad</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi: The face of Brand India and the target of two consecutive terror attacks, Hyderabad, is in the radar of not just terror groups, but of another source as well - NGOs.
North block has been tipped off that five Indian charities are being investigated by the US government for money laundering, narcotics and terror funding.
Shockingly, four of these charities are based in Hyderabad and the fifth in Guntur.
Just six months ago, the National Security Advisor had admitted at an international conference that: "An important source of funds to jehadi terrorist outfits are religious charities and contributions go to fund terrorist activities.''
The source of these funds is Dubai -- the very city which sent the biggest consignment of fake currency in recent memory to Hyderabad through a suspected Dawood aide.
Rushing to assure that investigations are underway, the Hyderabad Police Commissioner has said, "One UAE citizen has been arrested as have four Hyderabadis.''
