A British man accused of being a banker for Al-Qaeda on Sunday denied claims from London and Washington that he played a key role in the terrorist network inspired by Osama bin Laden.
The US Treasury and Britain's central bank, the Bank of England, last month both froze the assets of Mohammed al-Ghabra in line with United Nations sanctions aimed at tackling terrorist financing.
He is specifically accused of backing Al-Qaeda and other violent jihadist groups, helping recruits travel to meet Al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan and take part in terrorist training.
He is also alleged to have helped some Britons travel to Iraq to fight coalition forces -- reportedly a growing concern of intelligence agencies alongside radicalisation of British Muslims in Pakistan.
