Fact:
On April 3, 2017, the day Vladimir Putin was due to visit the city, a suicide bombing was carried out in the St. Petersburg metro, killing 15 people and injuring 64. An al-Qaeda affiliate, Imam Shamil Battalion, claimed responsibility.
"Consumers, led by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), are boycotting HBJ's portfolio of elite London hotels, including the Connaught and Claridge's. Other five-star hotels backed by Qatari investors, including The Ritz London and The Savoy, are also named by the campaign due to the state's links to funding terror organisation Hamas.
The CEP claims that 'Qatar's role in the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas in Israel is indisputable.' It stated that Ismail Haniyeh, the group's leader, 'planned and celebrated the Israeli massacre from his office in Doha, is provided with five-star accommodation in Qatar.'"
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
