Turning on the Saudis

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has subpoenaed Saudi Arabia embassy bank account records as part of a probe into the financing of Islamist groups.

According to the Washington Post on Sunday, the seizure was justified as an attempt to "determine whether Saudi government money knowingly or unknowingly helped fund extremists".

..."Such a procedure is unacceptable - it is against the international law," [Saudi Arabian political analyst Zuhair al-Harithi told Aljazeera].

"No government has ever probed into the bank accounts of embassies, as every embassy has its own diplomatic immunity," he said.

Al-Harithi also believes that this probe comes in the context of the US propaganda campaign against Saudi Arabia.

"Despite security co-operation between the United States and Saudi Arabia, some neoconservatives in the US administration want to break ties, aggressively pursuing any opportunity to deteriorate relations," he added.
