The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a private research institution critical of Qatar’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, claims that one of the RAF Foundation’s cofounders was the above-mentioned al-Nuaimi. Other members, according to CEP, include Mohammed Jassim al-Sulaiti, whom the four Arab governments included in their terrorism list in 2017, identifying him as “an aide to Khalifa Muhammad Turki al-Subaiy,” whom the U.S. Treasury Department designated in 2008 “for providing financial and material support to al Qaida.”
