The U.S. Treasury Department revealed lists of Qataris linked to Al-Qaeda, focusing on the Al-Kuwari clan as a key financier. Members of this clan, occupying prominent roles in Qatar's government, have been implicated in funding and orchestrating international terrorist networks, leveraging banks and charities. The U.S. sanctioned some Kuwaris from 2011 to 2015 for Al-Qaeda ties. Despite evidence of five clan members' involvement, their influence in Qatar's power structure remained unaffected, and they continued to gain acceptance internationally.

Ali Bin Ahmed al-Kuwari, once listed by the U.S. as involved and Qatar's Finance Minister, allegedly directed funds to various Al-Qaeda branches through Qatar Charity. The complex financing mechanisms, involving millions, were traced back to Islamic banks connected to al-Kuwari, like Qatar National Bank and others. Qatar Charity, under his brother Yousef's leadership, was labeled a terrorist support entity by U.S. agencies. It's implicated in funding Al-Qaeda attacks via these banks.

Qatar Charity's UK branch, now Nectar Trust, and the Qatar Centre for Voluntary Activity, have also been linked to funding radical groups. Abd al-Latif al-Kuwari, sanctioned by the U.S. and https://x.com/Podi_19/status/1735269552362279006?s=20 the U.N., facilitated Al-Qaeda leader travels and fundraising. Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid Al-Kuwari, another clan member in Qatar's Ministry of Interior, was involved in supporting Al-Qaeda, even after his exposure by the U.S. Treasury Department.
