Qatar has a hand in many failed and successful assassinations. The Gulf’s problem child is implicated in the assassination attempt on former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, which took place during the summit of African leaders in Addis Ababa in 1995.
Al-Qaeda and Qatar Charity
American documents have revealed the relationship between Al-Turabi, Qatar, and Al Qaeda. After all, it was Al-Turabi who offered Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists from Arab countries a safe haven, before they were expelled following an agreement with the United States.
Enaam Arnaout, a Syrian American from Hamah, confessed to financing terror in an Illinois court in 2003. He had worked for the Saudi Al-Batterjee’s charity foundation until he was suspended in 1993. The prosecution provided evidence to uphold Arnaout’s confession of financing Al Qaeda through organizations officially known for their charity work, these organizations include Qatar Charity Foundation. Bin Laden berated Arnaout for using Qatar Charity’s funds to carry out the operation, fearing that it might negatively affect Al-Qaeda’s means of receiving money from charities, evidence presented by the prosecution said.
Qatar knows no boundaries when it comes to destabilizing Arab nations, murder, terror, spreading extremist ideas, everything is on the table. These dirty tactics have contributed to the swirling chaos in the Middle East that gives rise to the kind of terror we are seeing in Europe these days.
