Members of Anti-Muslim American Gang Manage Security at "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" Centers

SadaNews - A report published by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) today, Wednesday, revealed that the company guarding sites of the Israeli-American "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" for distributing food materials in the Gaza Strip employs armed members of an American motorcycle gang with a history of animosity towards Islam and Muslims.

The report confirmed the identities of 10 members of the "Infidels Motorcycle Club" who are working in Gaza for UG Solutions - a private contracting company providing security at the sites of the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation", where hundreds of civilian Gazans searching for food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire.

The report noted that seven gang members hold senior positions overseeing sites in the controversial relief operation supported by Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump.

UG Solutions defended its employees' qualifications for the job, claiming it does not exclude candidates based on "personal hobbies or unrelated affiliations to job performance."

The “Infidels” military club was founded by American veterans of the Iraq War in 2006, and its members consider themselves "modern-day crusaders," using the Crusader cross as their symbol - referring to Christians in the Middle Ages who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem.

The report stated that the gang is currently spreading anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page, and previously held a provocative pig barbecue event during Ramadan.

Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a leading organization for civil Muslim rights in the U.S., stated, "Hiring the Infidels Motorcycle Club to deliver humanitarian aid in Gaza is like assigning the Ku Klux Klan to deliver humanitarian aid in Sudan. It makes absolutely no sense. It is bound to lead to violence, and that is exactly what we've seen in Gaza."

The gang leader, Johnny "Taz" Mulford, a former sergeant in the U.S. Army, was punished for conspiracy to commit bribery and theft and for making false statements to military authorities. He is now the "country team leader" managing UG Solutions' contract in Gaza.

Mulford inadvertently revealed, during a request for comment by the BBC, the email addresses and names of other gang members, some of whom work in Gaza. By matching names with public information on the leadership of the “Infidels” gang and evidence from informed sources in UG Solutions who had worked with them, the identities of ten gang members recruited by Mulford to work with him in Gaza were determined, according to the report.

Confidential documents and open-source information, along with former contractors of UGS, indicated the identities of six other Infidels motorcycle riders who were appointed to work in Gaza, three of whom are leaders or deputy leaders of the armed security teams affiliated with the company.

UGS stated that it conducts thorough background checks on drivers and only hires individuals whose identities have been verified. However, news reports indicate that a gang member who is currently neglectful in Gaza was arrested two years ago in the United States for DUI, and has a prior DUI charge dating back about a decade. It is unknown whether either case resulted in a conviction.

In total, at least 40 individuals out of approximately 320 hired to work for UG Solutions in Gaza have been recruited from the “Infidels” gang, according to an estimate by a former contractor.

UG Solutions pays each contractor $980 a day including expenses, with the pay rising to $1580 a day for team leaders at the "secure distribution sites" affiliated with the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation", according to documents reviewed by the BBC.
