The US Treasury Department has designated the Kuwait-based Revival of Islamic Heritage Society (RHIS) for providing financial and material support to al Qaeda groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jemaah Islamiyah, and Al Itihaad al Islamiyah. “RIHS has used charity and humanitarian assistance as cover to fund terrorist activity and harm innocent civilians, often in poor and impoverished regions,” Treasury said in its press release.
