War with Isis: If Saudis aren't fuelling the militant inferno, who is? - Middle East - World - The Independent

With all due respect to the ignorant, our 60000 dead are a result of the LeJ/TTP/ AQ combine , a network that belongs to anti-Shia school of thought and loyal to its Saudi masters. Many of the extremist seminaries mentioned and linked to these groups receive Saudi funding as well. Afghanistan...

So you want to help? We know the Lashkar e Jhangvi/ TTP combine is behind Khanzada's murder. I trust Centcom is resourceful enough to know who has been funding Lashkar e Jhangvi's terrorist campaign for the last 20 years. While we will continue stamping out LeJ and other Salafi militant...

Ayaz Amir Israeli anger is easily understood. Anything that makes life easier for Iran is anathema to Israel. The nuclear deal which puts a cap on Iran’s nuclear programme for the next 15 years in return for the lifting of sanctions allows Iran to break out of its international isolation. We...

The U.S. is not the root of the problem but it has repeatedly made the mistake of ignoring the bigger problem for short-term marginal gains. When US should have been confronting the Saudis over 9/11, it invaded Iraq. When ISIS was being put on steroids by the Saudis, the superpower sat on the...
