I can’t imagine the intelligence services of the UK not already well aware of this, but there we have it, public finger pointing at the Saudi’s. Me, I thought on 9/12 cruise missiles should have vaporized the Saudi intelligence services building, close our embassy, and sanctions added, until they could demonstrate to our satisfaction they were not funding and promoting terrorism:
Saudi Arabia is the chief foreign promoter of Islamist extremism in the UK, a new report has claimed.
The Henry Jackson Society said there was a “clear and growing link” between Islamist organisations in receipt of overseas funds, hate preachers and Jihadist groups promoting violence.
The foreign affairs think tank called for a public inquiry into the role of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations.
The Saudi embassy in London says the claims are “categorically false”.
Meanwhile, ministers are under pressure to publish their own report on UK-based Islamist groups.
The Home Office report into the existence and influence of Jihadist organisations, commissioned by former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2015, has reportedly yet to be completed amid questions as to whether it will ever be published.
