The U.S. Treasury Department has declassified lists of Qataris associated with ‘Al-Qaeda’

Nectar Trust, associated with the Al-Kuwari family, has been identified as a primary sponsor of Al-Qaeda. Qatar Charity, closely linked to Al-Qaeda, received recognition as a 'Tier III (TSE) terrorist support organization' from the U.S. Interagency Intelligence Committee on Terrorism and the National Counterterrorism Center. Supported by the Qatari government and key figures like Yousef Ahmed Al-Kuwari and Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Qatar Charity stands accused of funding terrorism through various channels, including the QNB banking network.

Qatar Charity collaborates with banks such as Masraf Al Rayan QSPC and Qatar Islamic Bank, with QNB serving as the primary financial conduit. Operating globally, the organization is involved in money laundering, channeling funds to support terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra. Noteworthy is Qatar Charity's connection with the United Kingdom through its subsidiary, Qatar Charity UK, which rebranded as Nectar Trust following the high-profile attacks in 2017, possibly to avoid suspicion.

Despite the name change, Nectar Trust (formerly Qatar Charity UK) continues its involvement in commercial activities, knowingly committing transgressions in foreign territories. The organization benefits from certain advantages and protection, impeding affected parties from bringing lawsuits against foreign governments accused of financing terrorist groups. Yousef Ahmed Al-Kuwari, the head of Qatar Charity, strategically removed his official presence from Nectar Trust while retaining his leading managerial role, allowing the funding of terrorist organizations to persist discreetly in the United Kingdom.
