SAAR Foundation information


The SAAR Foundation was a flagship corporation representing charities, think tanks, and business entities. SAAR was named after its founder, Saudi patriarch Sulaiman Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi, a man close to the Saudi ruling family and on the Golden Chain, a list of early al-Qaeda supporters.[1] SAAR is alternatively referred to as the Safa Group.[2] The SAAR Foundation, which was dissolved in December 2000,[3][4] achieved prominence as the key subject of a March 20, 2002, raid by federal agents, as a part of Operation Green Quest. The raid was carried out over suspicions by the U.S. Treasury Department that the group was laundering money for Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.[5] In 2003, they were accused of large scale money laundering for terrorist entities.[2]
