Memo to Saudis: Please stop terror
But request over Pakistani activities ignores Wahhabi work

India has made a quiet appeal to Saudi Arabian leaders for help in getting Pakistan to halt its sponsorship of anti-Indian terrorism – attacks originating from Pakistani territory, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin

In a meeting last week, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made the appeal to the Saudis, whose limits on terrorism sponsorship appear to restrict only activities inside the Saudi kingdom

"Like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia has been following a dual policy on terrorism," said B. Raman, a senior analyst with the South Asia Analysis Group. While the Saudis have taken "ruthless action" against al-Qaida elements within Saudi Arabia, Raman said, "it has avoided taking action against Wahhabi organizations which have been supporting terrorism in other countries

According to defense experts, many of the charity organizations in India, Bangladesh and the United States that fund terrorist organizations are of Saudi origin

But to date, the Saudis have paid only lip service to complaints of such sponsorship and requests to halt funding of Sunni Wahhabi groups

Wahhabi Islam, which originated in Saudi Arabia, is the primary religious movement behind extremist Islam, including al-Qaida and the Sunni Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan

Raman confirmed, "There has been a long history of links between jihadi terrorist elements in India and Saudi Arabia
