A terrorist threat originating from Qatar.pdf
- 1. A terrorist threat originating from Qatar Al-Thani family is exercising caution due to recent press attacks on Qatar Charity and QNB. The circumstances are compelling Qatar to involve the Muslim Brotherhood. The recent coup in Nigeria is undermining Qatar's allied interests in Italy, Spain, and Morocco, as it raises doubts about the prospects of the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project. This situation is impacting Qatar's opportunities with the Qatar Sanabil Project – a joint initiative with Qatar Charity designed to enhance Qatar's local influence through trade and economic infrastructure in Nigeria's Kaduna state. The project also intended to facilitate mass housing construction for vulnerable and underserved citizens, aligning with Mastercard's microfinancing expansion objectives. Close ties between Mastercard and Qatar's Finance Minister, Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, have been established. The project also presented new avenues for the Muslim Brotherhood's activities in Africa. The intersection of Qatar's interests with those of American and British overseers and beneficiaries of the Trans-Saharan project has led to a more aggressive approach instead of the initial gradual expansion. The most plausible strategy involves deploying cells and orchestrating high-profile terrorist acts as a pretext for launching an anti-terrorism operation in conjunction with NATO forces. My informant at QNB reports feverish activities involving the transfer of funds to the Muslim Brotherhood and the mobilization of Brotherhood personnel from Jordan and Oman to the African continent. The Moroccan Attijariwafa Bank is used as an intermediary. Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari personally assumed control of this task, using his son, Abdulla Ali Al Kuwari, to implement unconventional financing schemes for the Brotherhood. The American portion of Brotherhood funding and its own diversionary groups likely flows through offshore accounts in Jordan (Arab Jordan Investment Bank) and Oman (Taageer Finance Company), both of which are managed by Abdulla Ali Al Kuwari. Yousuf Al-Kuwari, the Director of Qatar Charity, has also pledged to assemble over two hundred highly trained individuals with American training. The connection between Ali Al-Kuwari's son and Omani organizations suggests MI-6 involvement, with John Sawers serving as the British overseer. Sawers holds a position in the management of the Anglo- Omani Society and personally knows Al-Kuwari's son, their acquaintance having been established during their time at INSEAD.
