Alwaght- Saudi Arabia is sending funds to ISIS Takfiri terrorist group in Iraq disguised as assistance for the children of Fallujah city, an Iraqi UN envoy has revealed.
“The Saudi NGOs pay for ISIS’s expenses in Anbar province under the cover of supporting the children of Fallujah city,” al-Hakim said, addressing a UN Security Council meeting in New York on Sunday.
He said that the Iraqi foreign ministry has asked Riyadh to explain about the active religious and social organizations of Saudi Arabia that have sent aid to the ISIS under the guise of helping the Fallujah children.
Al-Hakim called on the UN to act upon international resolutions and force Saudi Arabia and Turkey to stop their financial aids to ISIS.
Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia for backing ISIS Takifiri terrorists in the country.
Last June, Iraq called on Saudi Arabia for explanation after a senior official admitted fundraising in the kingdom for ISIS terrorists fighting in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.
The call by Iraq’s Foreign Ministry came after Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki said earlier this week that Iraq’s offensive against ISIS has sparked a flurry of new fundraising campaigns in Saudi Arabia.
“You cannot control the sympathies of people,” Turki said before acknowledging that those were potentially fake campaigns to raise money in the name of the “children of Fallujah” that actually funds terrorism.
"They are focusing on any event that results in a humane crisis, like the one going on in Fallujah now in Iraq," he said.
"This is now heavily being used by many to encourage people to give money for the children of Fallujah," Turki added during a conference call with reporters on terrorist financing.
Saudi Arabia is the world’s leading sponsor of Wahhabi Takfiri terrorism like the one practiced by ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Syria also blames Western countries especially the US and its regional allies namely Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and the Israeli regime for backing ISIS Takfiri terrorists in the country.
