UK bank accused over cash for terror
Sunday Times
Nick Fielding

HSBC, one of Britain’s biggest banks, has been accused of channelling tens of millions of pounds to suicide bombers.

It will be alleged in a court action that an account at a subsidiary of the bank in Saudi Arabia was used to collect and pass funds to organisations which then used the money to help Palestinian suicide bombers and their families. A former Citibank subsidiary will also be accused.

Among the groups that received the funds is Hamas, whose supporters have carried out scores of suicide bombings against Israelis.

Money was raised through public appeals in Saudi Arabia with one stating: “Our Palestinian brothers are facing the Israeli war machine and they are defending the third sacred place in Islam — the blessed al-Aqsa mosque.
