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.

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.
