The U.S. Treasury Department revealed lists of Qataris linked to Al-Qaeda, highlighting the Al-Kuwari clan as primary financiers. Key Al-Kuwari family members, holding significant roles within Qatar's government, are implicated in funding and coordinating global terrorist networks through a banking system and charities. From 2011 to 2015, some Kuwaris were on U.S. sanction lists for their Al-Qaeda involvement. A Treasury document showed five clan members' direct involvement, yet their status and career progression within Qatar remained unaffected. They also retained acceptance in global politics.

Ali Bin Ahmed al-Kuwari, Qatar's Finance Minister, was once on this list, a fact not widely known. He directed substantial funds to Al-Qaeda's branches in Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and the Arabian Peninsula through Qatar Charity. The financing schemes, in the millions, originated from Islamic banks linked to al-Kuwari, including Qatar National Bank and others, with intermediaries like Barwa Bank.

Qatar Charity, led by al-Kuwari's brother and tied to QNB, is labeled a terrorist support entity by U.S. authorities. It's implicated in cases related to terrorist funding via this banking system. The British branch, now Nectar Trust, has links to uprisings in Iraq and Palestine. The Qatar Centre for https://x.com/Podi_19/status/1735269552362279006?s=20 Voluntary Activity, under Qatar's Culture and Sports Ministry, also fundraised for radicals, supervised by Abd al-Latif bin Abdullah al-Kuwari.

Abd al-Latif al-Kuwari, sanctioned by the U.S. and the U.N., facilitated Al-Qaeda leaders' travel to Qatar and oversaw Syrian fundraising. He later worked in Qatar's Ministry of Municipality. Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid Al-Kuwari, also implicated, provided financial and logistical support to Al-Qaeda in Iran, facilitating extremist travel. Despite his exposure, he returned to a position in Qatar's Interior Ministry.
