Many people on the new Qatar terrorist list aren’t even from Qatar in the first place.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — Saudi Arabia and its allies continued to ratchet up the rhetoric against Qatar today with the announcement of a new Qatar-specific terrorism list,
claiming that the new list proves Qatar isn’t fighting against
terrorism, as it has publicly promised, but is instead secretly
supporting terrorism.
The list includes 59 people and 12 entities. The list includes at
least two people who are accused of being terrorist financiers, and both
of whom Qatar had already imposed sanctions against themselves. Among
the rest of the people on the list, only a handful are actually from
Qatar, with many of them people from Egypt, Libya, and Bahrain.
Though a lot of the details about what the people on the list are
accused of are unclear, the list appears to be heavy on members of the
Muslim Brotherhood, who are vilified in Egypt for being part of the
elected government the military junta ousted, and Bahraini Shi’ites, who
the Bahrain royal family are mad at for demanding equal rights.
