| 2016-02-03 |
| [ALMANAR.LB] 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... 's Major General Mansour Al-Turki, Ministry of Interior front man, admitted on Monday that the Saudi money has been used to fund al-Qaeda terrorist group in Afghanistan with billions of dollars. During an interview with the BBC British news network, Turki justified sending the Saudi petrodollars to al-Qaeda by claiming that certain individuals have convinced Saudi nationals to offer money under the title of charity grants, "[Saudi] People had been convinced they were providing money to help the poor when in fact the funds were going to finance al-Qaeda in Afghanistan," Turki said. The Saudi General Administration for Financial Investigations announced earlier that it had received acknowledgements in 2014 about cases of suspected money laundering and terrorism financing crimes. It said that 88% of the acknowledgments received were related to financing terrorism. Turki denied that Saudi Arabia has ever funded any terrorist organization, but claimed there had been a "misuse of our financial system." According to WikiLeaks report issued in 2010 citing leaked US diplomatic cables, private individuals in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states friendly to the United States are the chief source of funding for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and other terrorist groups in the Middle East region. |

| #4 A decade ago "Alms for Jihad", the best book on Muslim use of charitable grants to fund terrorism, was attacked by the Saudi Bin Mahfouz family. Cambridge Press capitulated and its publication was halted. The book is as valid today as then and worth the read -- if you can find a copy. |

| #1 Soddies fund terrorists to attack the West. Bammer funds Iran to buy Russians arms to attack the Soddies. Sounds more Byzantine than Bismarck. |
