Saudis Announce Anti-terror Measures

World | May 13, 2003, Tuesday // 00:00

Saudi Arabia has announced a series of measures to stop money going to terrorists, including tighter controls on charities and attempts to prevent money laundering through its banks. The move follows growing criticism in the United States that the Saudi authorities were not doing enough to tackle terrorism. Saudi foreign affairs adviser Adel al-Jubeir, on a visit to Washington, described the relations between the Saudi and US governments as excellent. But he complained of an anti-Saudi mood bordering on hate in America in the wake of the 11 September attacks. Fifteen of the 19 suicide hijackers were Saudis. "It's 'let's bash the Saudis time'. We are guilty before we say anything. We are guilty as charged."
