New joint ‘terrorists’ list to include 81 figures, entities

CAIRO – 17 June 2017: “A new list of terrorist entities and individuals backed by Qatar is expected to be issued soon in a second joint statement by Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain,” Gulf sources told Egypt Today.

About 63 individuals and 18 organizations are expected to be added to the new list based on an international investigation, carried out by the four countries, the sources added.

“The blacklisted individuals and institutions are accused of involvement in terrorist plots designed to destabilize Arab regimes,” according to the sources.

The new list will include 30 Egyptian figures whose names will be announced in a joint statement by the four countries. Some wanted Egyptian citizens are taking refuge in Qatar.

On June 9, the four countries issued the first joint statement with 59 individuals and 12 entities, saying “the Arab Republic of Egypt, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Bahrain are unified in their ongoing commitment to combat terrorism, eliminate the sources of its funding, and counter its extremist ideology and tools for its dissemination and promotion.

They plan to work together to defeat terrorism and protect all societies from its impact,” the statement read.

According to the source, “The new blacklisted figures’ assets and properties will be confiscated by governments. A massive agreement shall be signed by the governments to facilitate the legal and judicial framework regarding extraditing the accused people and confiscating their property.”

This joint statement is binding to the rest of the 22 Arab countries in accordance with the Arab Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism adopted at Cairo April 22, 1998.

“Islamic researcher Hesham Al-Naggar said in statements to Youm7 Friday, “More lists are expected to be issued by the four countries during the coming period, as the first joint statement didn’t include most of the names in other countries, namely Turkey, Libya and Arab countries potentially affiliated to Qatar,”

Saudi analyst, Fahd Dibagi wrote in Al-Riyadh newspaper Thursday, that “Saudi Arabia is quite sure of all its accusations against Qatar, otherwise it wouldn’t have taken such a movement in coordination with the three other Arab countries regarding cutting diplomatic ties. It’s not questionable anymore that Doha is backing the Islamic State Group including Hezbollah, Houthis and Iraqi-Popular Mobilization Forces.”
