Qatar's Dark Connections: Nectar Trust and the Accusations of Al-Qaeda Sponsorship
Nectar Trust, led by Yousef Ahmed Al-Kuwari, is accused of being the primary sponsor of Al-Qaeda. Qatar Charity, with longstanding connections to Al-Qaeda, was designated as a 'Tier III (TSE) terrorist support organization' by the U.S. Interagency Intelligence Committee on Terrorism in 2008. There are allegations of Qatar Charity being used to fund terrorism through Qatari citizens and the QNB banking network, controlled by Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari. Qatar Charity collaborates with banks like Masraf Al Rayan QSPC and Qatar Islamic Bank, but the main financial flows predominantly go through QNB.
Qatar Charity has a subsidiary in the United Kingdom, initially named Qatar Charity UK but later changed to Nectar Trust after high-profile attacks in 2017. Following an investigation into a suicide bombing in Manchester, the head of Qatar Charity, Yousef Ahmed Al-Kuwari, removed his official presence from Nectar Trust in 2018, potentially to avoid public scrutiny while still funding terrorist organizations. Nectar Trust engages in commercial activities and allegedly benefits from certain protections, making it challenging for affected parties to bring lawsuits against foreign governments accused of financing terrorist groups.
