Arabia
Qatar’s ambassador confused when asked about ‘al-Qaeda funder’
2017-06-13
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Ever since Gulf and Arab countries, especially Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt had severed ties with Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
last week, Doha tried to make efforts to deny funding terrorism suspicions against it, particularly through diplomatic channels in a number of Western countries, specifically the United States.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
it did not seem to work, especially after statements by US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, on Friday that confirmed Qatar’s history with funding terrorism.

Qatar’s ambassador in Washington, Meshal bin Hamad al-Thani, was confused in an interview a few days ago on CNN when he was asked about his country’s funding of terrorism.

Perhaps this confusion was obvious when the ambassador hesitated to answer the question about the "status" of Saad bin Saad al-Kaabi, who is accused of funding al-Qaeda. The Qatari ambassador repeated the same answer, which did not in fact provide a clear reason why Qatar did not sue al-Kaabi, who is listed on the terrorism list by the Gulf and USA.

When the ambassador was asked whether Qatar was prosecuting Saad bin Saad al-Kaabi for funding al-Qaeda or whether he was tossed in the slammer
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
or imprisoned, the ambassador tried to divert by saying that the Qatari judiciary was prosecuting several cases related to terrorism funding cases, he repeated his answer twice.

Two days ago, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt issued a detailed statement of Qatari individuals and entities supporting and funding terrorism. Among those names was Saad bin Saad al-Kaabi, who is considered one of the funders of al-Qaeda.

Al-Kaabi organized fund-raising campaigns for al-Qaeda in Syria under the "Al-Sham Supply" campaign, with the assistance of other Qataris.

Since 2015, the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
has included Saad al-Kaabi on the sanctions lists for collecting money on behalf of al-Qaeda holy warriors in Syria.
