Al Aqsa Spannmål Stiftelse

Al Aqsa Spannmål Stiftelse ("al-Aqsa Grain Foundation"), also known in Arabic as Sanabil al-Aqsa, is the Swedish branch of the al-Aqsa Foundation, aninternational charitable organization with alleged ties to the militant Palestinian movement Hamas. It has its office located at Nobelvägen 79 in Malmö.

In May 2003 United States authorities urged in a letter to Swedish authorities to freeze the assets of the organisation, which they claimed was providing money for Hamas.

On October 24, 2006, the chairman of the foundation, Khalid al-Yousef, was arrested by the Swedish Security Service and charged with planning of terrorism (), serious planning of public destruction () and serious offences to the Swedish law on financing (). He was released from custody after three days, in lack of evidence.

The organization is currently blacklisted by FRII, Swedish Fundraising Council ().
