Dubai: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain, having cut ties with Qatar this week over its support of terrorism, on Friday designated dozens of people with links to Qatar as terrorists, intensifying a row that threatens the region’s stability.

The four countries said in a statement published by the Saudi news agency that 59 people, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yousuf Al Qaradawi, and 12 entities, among them Qatari-funded charities Qatar Charity and Eid Charity, were named.

The announcement increases pressure on Qatar in a diplomatic and economic campaign to isolate the small Gulf Arab state, which is a critical global supplier of gas and hosts the biggest US military base in the Middle East. It follows a previous listing of scores of organizations in 2014 by Saudi Arabia and the UAE during a previous spat with Qatar.

Among the 18 Qataris named are alleged terrorism financiers as well as prominent businessmen, politicians and senior members of the ruling family including a former interior minister.

Abdul Hakim Belhadj, a former Libyan Islamist commander, is one of five Libyans listed, while Al Qaradawi and firebrand Salafi preacher Wagdi Ghoneim are among the 26 Egyptian nationals.

The list also includes Shi’ite militant groups in Bahrain seen by some Gulf Arab governments as linked to Iran including Saraya Ashtar, Saraya Mukhtar, and February 14 movement.

The list also names three Kuwaiti nationals, two Jordanians, two Bahrainis, an Emirati, a Saudi and a Yemeni.
 

UAE Cabinet endorses list of designated terrorist organisations, individuals

 

Abu Dhabi (WAM): The UAE Cabinet has issued a Resolution No. (18) of 2017 on endorsing the list of designated terrorist organisations and individuals.

The resolution stipulates that all regulatory bodies shall monitor and restrict any individuals or entities affiliated with any financial, commercial, technical or any other relationship of any kind with the names mentioned in the attached list, and take the necessary procedures in accordance with the laws in force in the State.

This resolution shall be published in the official gazette, and become effective from the date of its publication.

This list addresses threats posed by Qatar-linked and -based Al Qaida terrorism support networks
 

ABU DHABI (WAM): 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, on Thursday 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.

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.

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.

Despite false reports that Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani is under house arrest, Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani continues to operate freely in Qatar conducting private and official business.

Yusuf Abdullah al-Qaradawi 

Qatar-based Egyptian cleric Yusuf Abdullah al-Qaradawi has a long history of inciting violent jihad in the Middle East. In response to international campaigns in Afghanistan against al-Qaida and the Taliban, and in Iraq against Saddam Hussein, Qaradawi issued religious rulings inciting Muslims to join jihadist groups and conduct attacks against US and international forces.

In deference to his host, the government of Qatar, Qaradawi has refrained from calling for attacks against US forces stationed in Qatar. Qaradawi has issued religious rulings justifying the use of suicide bombings. In 2013, Yousef al-Qaradawi called for Muslims to wage jihad in Syria.

Yusef al-Qaradawi has served as a host of a program on Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV and has appeared at events alongside the ruling Al Thani family, including the June 2013 abdication of power ceremony to Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the weddings of senior Al Thani royal family members.

Sheikh Eid Al Thani Charity

The Qatar-based Sheikh Eid al Thani Charity ("Eid Charity") has a history of working with and supporting organizations and individuals associated with al-Qaida. Eid Charity was co-founded and managed by Abd al-Rahman bin Umayr al-Nuaimi, who is sanctioned by the UN and US government for supporting al-Qaida.

Eid Charity falls under the oversight of the Qatari Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities and the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs. Eid Charity appears on a list of official charitable organizations endorsed by Qatar on the government’s official electronic portal.

Eid Charity supported and worked with organizations, projects and individuals in Yemen that the US government identified as associated with al-Qaida.

Between 2010 and 2014, Eid Charity financed and co-sponsored projects with sanctioned AQAP supporter Abd al-Wahhab al-Humayqani and his Yemen-based Al-Rachd Charitable Foundation. In December 2013, the US Department of the Treasury designated Abd al-Wahhab al-Humayqani as an al-Qaida supporter who used "his Yemen-based charity as a cover for funneling financial support to AQAP." For projects in Yemen, Eid Charity partnered with Qatar’s Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs.

In 2010, Eid Charity held an event in Yemen that was led by Abd al-Majid al-Zindani, who was sanctioned by the UN and US for supporting Usama bin Laden and al-Qaida. The event was attended by Qatari government officials, including representatives from the Qatari embassy in Sanaa and the Qatari Ministry of Endowments.

In 2014, Eid Charity sponsored fundraising initiatives led by UN and US sanctioned al-Qaida facilitators Saad bin Saad al-Kabi and Abd al-Latif bin Abdullah al-Kawari.

Eid Charity maintains bank accounts at a number of Qatari financial institutions, including Qatar Islamic Bank, Qatar International Islamic Bank, Barwa Bank, Masraf al-Rayan, Qatar National Bank, and Doha Bank.
