Family members of American victims of terrorist attacks in Israel have filed a lawsuit against top Qatari financial institutions that they allege are headed by members of the royal family.

A filing in the US District Court of Brooklyn yesterday alleged that Qatar Charity, Masraf Al Rayan Bank and Qatar National Bank knowingly facilitated financial activities of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas between 2015-2016. The latest suit was first reported by The Washington Post.

The litigants specifically accused Qatar Charity of funneling at least $28 million to the two terror groups, including payments to the families of “martyrs.” The suit also accuses Masraf Al Rayan Bank and Qatar National Bank of managing bank accounts for known terrorists, including Ahlam Aref Ahmad al-Tamimi, who facilitated the killing of 15 people in a 2001 suicide bombing at a Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem.

Tuesday’s is the second such case brought by US citizens this year. In June, a suit filed in US Federal Court by 51 plaintiffs targeted the three institutions, citing attacks on US citizens in Israel, including a 28-year-old former US Army captain killed in a 2016 stabbing attack in Jaffa.

Both cases are being filed under the US Anti-Terrorism Act, which allows US citizens to seek triple restitution from private institutions but not to sue government officials. However, Qatar Charity is chaired by royal family member Hamad bin Nasser al-Thani, and the country’s sovereign wealth fund, overseen by the royal family, reportedly has a 50% stake in Qatar National Bank. Masraf Al Rayan Bank’s board is staffed by royal family members…

Taliban and muslim brotherhood have its offices or presence in qatar.
US sent delegation to discuss peace with Taliban in qatar.
It was US that created the Taliban to fight Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the first place. After soviet keft, US abandoned the war ravaged country to itself. Without a proper gomen, warlords rule. But the ones with the most weapons was the taliban.
You can watch " Charlie wilson's war" about what the US actually did.
