London Mayor: Saudi Royals source of terrorism

London Mayor Ken Livingstone -- who has previously said he would like to see Saudi royals "swinging from the lampposts" -- criticised government ministers for "bending over backwards" to keep the Saudis happy in order to secure further lucrative defence deals.

The notion that the Saudi royals had tackled terrorism was "a bit rich -- they have been one of its principal sources through the funding of Wahhabism over the last five decades," he said. Link
