WikiLeaks cables from the US State Department from 2009 revealed “donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.” In a 2014 email, published by WikiLeaks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saudi Arabia was “providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.” It has also supplied weapons to IS in Syria.[1]This is something to keep in mind next time you hear that Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorism in the world.
