Saudi Arabia declares Muslim Brotherhood, three other militant groups as terrorist organisations

RIYADH: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has declared three Sunni radical organisations as “Terrorist outfits”. This organisations include the Muslim Brotherhood, the al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and kingdom’s branch of the Shiite Hezbollah movement.

This development is very interesting because Syrian government and Shias have been claiming that Al-Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS are supported and finance by Saudi government and Saudi intelligence network. The group announced its creation on 23 January 2012 during the Syrian Civil War and is considered as fatal and dangerous. The group has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United Nations, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom but Saudi Arabia was trying to avoid international pressure on it to shun its relations with both terrorist outfits.

In November 2013, group began using a new name “Tanzim Qa’edat Al-Jihad fi Bilad Al-Sham” or Al-Qaeda in Syria. Meanwhile Muslim Brotherhood has been an icon of Islamist struggle for Pan Islamic rule or introduction of Shariah law allover the world. The philosophy of Shariah Law and Islamic rule all over the world has been a political philosophy of Saudi Arabia that has allegedly been supporting Islamist moderates, extremists and even terrorists all over the world during the last 35 years.

According to Saudi State television that hundreds of Saudi fighters are believed to be members of the Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda’s official Syrian affiliate, and the ISIS, a rogue group fighting in both Syria and Iraq. Saudi Arabian government has given its citizens fighting abroad a 15-day ultimatum to return to the country or face imprisonment, report said. In February, Saudi King Abdullah decreed jail terms of up to 20 years for belonging to terrorist groups and fighting abroad.
