The Insider: Daily Terrorism Report
Jan. 22 -- The governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia released a joint statement today on terror financing, designating four branch offices of an Islamic foundation as financiers of terror. The offices of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation — located in Kenya, Tanzania, Pakistan and Indonesia — have been infiltrated by individuals who support terror, Saudi and U.S. authorities said today. The United States and Saudi Arabia have recently been working closely to identify perpertrators of terror as well as their financiers. Saudi Arabia has scaled up its campaign against terror, following several terror attacks over the last year within the country.
And a former U.N. weapons inspector may replace David Kay as the head of the hunt for weapons of mass destruction team in Iraq, administration officials said last night. Charles Duelfer, an experienced former U.N. official, had previously expressed doubts that any weapons will ever be found.
