ZAMBOANGA CITY — The death of Osama bin Laden’s brother-in-law Jamal Khalifa is a big blow to the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group’s finance operations in the Philippines, a senior police intelligence official said yesterday.


Khalifa, tagged by military and police authorities as a financier of southern secessionist groups — including the Abu Sayyaf — using various firms as fronts, was killed Wednesday while on a business trip in Madagascar.

The Treasury Department’s action is directed at the Philippine and Indonesian offices of the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO). The charity has operations in more than 20 countries in Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
