Funding for al Qaeda and Taliban

Letter December 07, 2010
It is a shame that Saudi choose to set aside money for fomenting acts of belligerence.

KARACHI: This is with reference to your report of December 6 titled “WikiLeaks: Saudi key financiers of al Qaeda and Taliban”. It is a shame that such rich and wealthy nations choose to set aside money for fomenting acts of belligerence. Surely, they could do far better by instead using the money to invest in socio-economic infrastructural development.
