Flashpoint's Evan Kohlmann testifed before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime and Drugstestimony, delivering testimony titled "The Role of Saudi Arabian State-Sponsored Charitable Fronts in Providing Material Support to Foreign Paramilitary and Terrorist Organizations" during a hearing on "Evaluating The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, S. 2930”. Kohlmann testified that "Despite its more recent public commitment to counter-terrorism and deradicalization efforts, there is overwhelming evidence that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has previously provided substantial material support to paramilitary and terrorist organizations based in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and beyond. Though some of that aid perhaps was couriered by independent non-governmental organizations, a large portion of it was provided directly by leading members of the Saudi royal family, who were also responsible for personally overseeing the distribution of funds."
