Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina: what Wikipedia removed
The Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina was a Saudi-funded charity shut down in 2001 after its Sarajevo office was raided by NATO forces investigating links to the September 11 attacks. Through 2020 the opening carried the raid finding of “anti-Semitic and anti-American material geared toward children,” alongside the crop-duster photographs and forged State Department materials. Today the word is gone from the article entirely, though the other raid findings remain. A reader today learns what NATO found relating to the September 11 hijackers and not that investigators also found antisemitic propaganda material aimed at children.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
