How Qatar Is Funding the Rise of Islamist Extremists
(Telegraph-UK) David Blair and Richard Spencer - Radical Islamists stormed Libya's capital, Tripoli, last month. The new overlords are allies of Ansar al-Sharia, a jihadist movement suspected of killing America's ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. Qatar has dispatched cargo planes laden with weapons to the victorious Islamist coalition. Last December, the U.S. Treasury designated a Qatari academic and businessman, Abdul Rahman al-Nuaimi, as a "global terrorist." The U.S. accused him of sending nearly 366,000 British pounds to "al-Qaeda's representative in Syria," named as Abu Khalid al-Suri.
