From this:

At a news conference called here to claim that the Saudi Arabian government was cracking down on terrorism, a top Saudi Arabian official yesterday refused to condemn the terrorist group Hamas.

Adel Al-Jubeir's refusal to condemn Hamas came on a day when the Bush administration was blaming the terrorist group for the recent attacks on Israel...

...[Al-Jubeir] also denied that the Saudi government directly funded Hamas, although he said some money could indirectly go to its "political wing..."

[A] critic of the Saudi government, Ali Al-Ahmed, who runs the Saudi Institute here, said there is no doubt of the Saudi link to Hamas, and said he was not surprised either that Mr. Al-Jubeir did not condemn the group.

"He can't. He'd be fried back home. He wouldn't be the spokesman any longer," he said.
