Apple Added to Terrorist Financier List?

Apple’s Company in Doha, Qatar, has been added to a list of 59 people/institutions that are considered to be funding terrorism (directly/indirectly) by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Bahrain, according to Al Arabiya . It has stunned many to see the Doha Apple Company listed among the financiers of terrorists. It is not clear why the Gulf states have included Apple among the financiers. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, had said in a recent interview with Bloomberg that Apple helped the UK government investigate the terrorist attacks in the UK.

Obviously, many want the details.
