Saudi prince sponsoring terrorist groups Sat, 14 Jul 2007 23:54:16 Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan supports the terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization and also al-Qaeda and Fath al-Islam now operating in Lebanon. In an MKO congress held recently in the groups Ashraf military camp in Iraq, Prince Bandar donated $750,000 to the exiled terrorist group in the presence of former Iraqi Baath leaders, intelligence officers, several members of al-Qaeda and the armed group Ansar al-Sunna, Baztab Internet site reported. The Iraqi daily Al-Bayyinah al-Jadidah wrote the Saudi prince has mentioned several conditions for helping the congress of terrorists, including the weakening of the present Iraqi government and the participation of Sunnis and Shiites who supported the former Ba'athist regime in the congress. Prince Bandar, who served for 20 years as Saudi ambassador to the US, maintains close ties with US President George W. Bush and is known affectionately within that family as "Bandar Bush". The Saudi prince has also played a pivotal role in developing dialogue and practical cooperation betwen the Saudi and Zionist regimes. Prince Bandar's support from MKO in Iraq, al-Qaeda both in Iraq and Afghanistan and Fath al-Islam in Lebanon are clear instances of interference in Iraqi and Lebanese internal affairs.
