Saudi ‘Entities’ Funding Terrorist Groups


 


WASHINGTON (Dispatches) – The United States has praised Qatar's "strong partnership" in the fight against "terrorism,” but accused individuals and "entities" in Saudi Arabia of channeling money out of the country to "terrorist" organizations.
The State Department made the remakes in its annual "Country Reports on Terrorism" released on Wednesday, Al Jazeera reported.
Qatar had "maintained a strong partnership in the fight against terrorism in 2016 and collaborated to foster closer regional and international cooperation on counterterrorism, law enforcement and rule of law activities,” the State Department noted.
The department said Qatar has made "significant progress" in fighting terrorist financing but "terrorist financiers within the country are still able to exploit Qatar's informal financial system.”
