A probe conducted by the House Committee on Ways and Means has resulted in a U.S. affiliate of a U.K.-based Islamic organization severing ties with the British entity, the committee said in a March 30 statement.

At issue is UK-based Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), which has “suspected ties to terrorism,” the committee said. The U.S. affiliate, nonprofit Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), stands to lose its tax-exempt status if found to be associated with such an organization.
