Iraqi Leader Reveals Extensive Saudi, Qatari Funds for Terrorists

A prominent Iraqi resistance leader expressed regret that despite international efforts to end the crises in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the region, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are still supplying the terrorists with lavish amounts of money.

“Saudi Arabia and Qatar are extensively supporting the Takfiri terrorists financially but surely victory belongs to the resistance groups,” Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi, the leader of Hezbollah al-Nujaba, a major Iraqi resistance movement fighting the ISIL, said in a meeting with prominent Iranian cleric Ayatollah Alawi Gorgani in the Central city of Qom on Saturday night.

 He referred to the strong resistance groups formed in Iraq to fight against the terrorists, and said.

In relevant remarks in December, Leader of the Lebanese Orthodox Party Masarik Roderick Khoury said that the fight against international terrorism should start with pressuring certain countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, now the main sponsors for militants groups in Syria.

“Turkey is the first and main power which funds and supplies weapons to terrorist groups. We believe the fight against terrorism should begin with pressuring certain regional states. Now Turkey is the main sponsor of terrorism in the region,” Khoury said at a press conference in Moscow.

“The name of the real leader of the terrorists is Tayyip Erdogan (Turkish President). The others like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (ISIL leader) and al-Qaeda are just his servants. Al-Nusra Front also carries out orders from Turkey,” he pointed out.

According to him, there is real evidence to the allegations. Khoury said that after the city of Kassab, near Lattakia, was liberated from terrorists Turkish ambulance vehicles, clothes and weapons were found there.
