Members of an American anti-Islam motorcycle gang are managing aid distribution sites in Gaza.

1. A BBC investigation revealed that the company guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza, by the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)," employs members of an American motorcycle gang with a history of hostility towards Islam to manage its armed security.

BBC News confirmed the identities of 10 members of a far-right extremist group that calls itself the "Infidels" motorcycle club, who are working in Gaza for UG Solutions, a private contracting company providing security at GHF's sites, where hundreds of civilians searching for food have been killed amid scenes of chaos and gunfire.

The network revealed the identities of seven gang members holding senior positions overseeing the controversial Israel-supported relief operations backed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

For its part, UG Solutions defended its employees' qualifications for the job, stating that it does not exclude individuals based on "personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance," while the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) claimed it "adopts a zero-tolerance policy for any biases or hateful or discriminatory behaviors."

It is noted that the "Infidels" motorcycle club was founded in 2006 by American veterans of the Iraq War, 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 gang currently spreads anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page and previously held a pig roast "defying" the holy month of Ramadan.

Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading civil rights organization in the U.S., stated: "Hiring the 'Infidels' motorcycle club to deliver humanitarian aid in Gaza is akin to hiring the racist Ku Klux Klan to deliver humanitarian aid in Sudan. This is utterly nonsensical."

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

BBC stated: "We emailed Infidels MC for comment. In response, Mulford asked his fellow motorcycle gang leaders not to reply, but he inadvertently included the BBC channel when he clicked 'reply all,' revealing the email addresses and names of other Infidels MC members, some of whom had worked in Gaza."

By matching names with public information about the leadership of Infidels MC and evidence from informed sources at UG Solutions who worked with them, we identified 10 members of Infidels MC recruited by Mr. Mulford to work with him in Gaza. In addition to Mulford, the network identified three leading members of the "Infidels" motorcycle gang who also hold leadership positions in UGS operations in Gaza: Larry "J-Rod" Garrett, publicly known as the vice president of the "Infidels" gang, responsible for logistics; the gang's national treasurer, Bill "Saint" Seby, who leads the security team for one of GHF's four "secure distribution sites." One of the founding members of the gang, Richard "A-Tracker" Lofton, is a team leader at another distribution site.

The network in its investigation states: "Confidential documents, open-source information, and former contractors with UGS enabled us to confirm the identities of six other motorcycle riders from the 'Infidels' gang assigned to work in Gaza. Three of them are leaders or deputy leaders of the armed security teams for the company."

UGS informed the BBC that it conducts thorough background checks on individuals and only hires individuals whose identities have been verified. However, news reports indicate that Garrett was arrested two years ago in the U.S. for driving under the influence, and he had previously been charged with driving under the influence about a decade ago. It is unknown whether either case resulted in a conviction.

Jameson Giuffoni, founder and CEO of UG Solutions, was also arrested earlier this year in North Carolina on suspicion of involvement in a hit-and-run incident and for fleeing from police to avoid arrest, according to court documents. Mr. Giuffoni, who resides in the U.S., is not a member of the Infidels MC.

So far, Mulford has been the only contractor with UG Solutions identified as
