Al Rajhi Bank and affiliated Saudi financial entities alleged to have funneled funds to al‑Qaida, Hamas and other terrorist groups

Al Rajhi Bank and affiliated Saudi financial entities alleged to have funneled funds to al‑Qaida, Hamas and other terrorist groups The passage lists specific Saudi banks, families, and trusts (Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi American Bank, DMI Trust, Al Shamal Bank, Saleh Abdullah Kamel’s Dallah Al Baraka) and ties them to known terrorist operatives and networks. It provides concrete names, alleged transactions, and organizational relationships that could be pursued in a financial‑terrorism investigation, but the claims are presented as unverified pleadings rather than proven facts, limiting immediate impact. Key insights: Al Rajhi Bank allegedly maintained accounts used to channel money to al‑Qaida and Hamas.; Bank’s owners – the Al Rayhi family – are linked to Osama bin Laden’s personal secretary and the Golden Chain donors.; Saudi American Bank purportedly has a “close relationship” with the Saudi Bin Laden family and funded Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
