Read full list of 43 terrorist units, persons linked to Qatar

threats posed by Qatar linked and based Al Qaida Networks

ABU DHABI 10 June 2017: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Arab Republic of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Bahrain – as part of their unified ongoing commitment to combatting terrorism – yesterday acted to update their respective lists of designated terrorist organisations and individuals.

As a result fifty-nine (59) individuals and twelve (12) entities were designated by each of the four countries, said Wam.

To address the long-term and continuing threat of terrorist financing emanating from Qatar, and associated material support for terrorist organisations, included in these designations are thirty-seven (37) individuals and six (6) entities that have specifically financed, aided and/or provided material support to Al Qaida and its associated organisations and networks.

Among the sanctioned parties are charities and fundraisers in Qatar that have acted for the benefit of Al Qaida for more than a decade.

The designations point to the fact that despite repeated calls from the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the international community, Qatar remains a permissive jurisdiction for terrorism financing.

The designations are a direct response to the Government of Qatar’s consistent refusal to take meaningful steps to disrupt the activities of terrorist support networks operating within its borders. In fact several of the entities and individuals identified are explicitly affiliated to the Government of Qatar.

The details of these Al Qaida specific designations are as follows:

Al Qaida Support and Facilitation Networks based in Qatar

Khalifa Muhammad Turki Al Subaie

Qatari national Khalifa Muhammad Turki Al Subaie has been sanctioned by the US and the UN since 2008 for providing financial support to Al Qaida, including to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks against the United States.

For example, in mid-2012 Al Subaie sent hundreds of thousands of dollars and euros to Al Qaida in Pakistan, according to the US Department of the Treasury.

In 2013, Khalifa Al Subaie aided fundraising initiatives led by US and UN designated Qatari financiers of Nusra Front Saad bin Saad Al Kabi and Abd Al Latif bin Abdullah Al Kawari. Al Subaie appeared in a May 2013 fundraising video that solicited donations for Syrian jihadist groups.

Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani is a senior member of the Qatari royal family council, and a former Minister of Interior and Minister of Endowments in the government of Qatar who provided aid and safe haven to al-Qaida leaders dating back to the early 1990s.

In the 1990’s, Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani harboured future 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) at his compound in Qatar. Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani provided the al-Qaida terrorist leader with a job at the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water.

While living in Qatar and employed by the Qatari government between 1992 and 1996, KSM wired funds to other al-Qaida operatives planning attacks against the United States, including to 1993 World Trade Center attack plotter Ramzi Yousef.

In 1996, US authorities tracked KSM to a compound outside Doha, Qatar owned by Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani. The Qatari government is believed to have tipped off KSM of his impending capture by the US government, enabling KSM to escape using a passport provided by the government of Qatar.

After hosting KSM and other al-Qaida terrorists, Abdullah bin Khalid continued to hold a number senior positions in the government of Qatar, including Minister of State for Internal Affairs and Minister of Interior.
