has agreed to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation with the United States to crack down on illicit financing of krazed killer groups, a joint Qatari-US statement said on Monday following a visit by US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
