David Cameron urged to press Emir of Qatar on terror funds

David Cameron is under intense pressure to hold face-to-face talks with the Emir of Qatar this week to demand that the Gulf state “cuts off” the flow of funding to terrorists.

Sheikh Tamim al-Thani, will arrive in Britain amid a growing furore over his country’s alleged links to the financing of (Isil) and al-Qaeda.

 

However, Mr Cameron is facing demands to press Sheikh al-Thani to take “stronger action” against jihadi financiers in Qatar.

Al-Thani will also meet with Sir John Sawers, the head of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service.

The negotiations follow “warnings” from the Obama administration last week that Qatar and Kuwait remain fertile grounds for terrorist funders.

Qatar owns or co-owns several landmark sites including Harrods and the Shard skyscraper while buying large stakes in major companies.
