Saudi Arabia and allies published a list of individuals and organizations they say are involved in terrorism and mostly linked to Qatar, the Gulf nation coming under growing pressure from its neighbors.
The list, endorsed by the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain, includes 12 entities and 59 individuals, according to a joint statement sent by email early Friday. The list includes individuals from those countries as well as Qatar and Libya, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported, including Yusuf al-Qaradawi -- an Egyptian-born cleric linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, who has ties with Qatari royals.
