BERLIN — A man of Moroccan origin has been charged with helping to fund Al Qaeda and supply foreign fighters to the terror group’s affiliate in Iraq, prosecutors said yesterday. The suspect — identified only as Redouane E.H., 37, in court documents — is also accused of co-founding a terrorist group in Sudan, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
The man, who holds both German and Moroccan citizenship and lived in the northern city of Kiel, was arrested in Germany in July 2006. The charges were filed April 25, but there was no immediate word on when he might go on trial.
