Spokesperson of the Syrian National Coordination Committee (NCC) Haytham Al-Manna said a Kuwaiti business tycoon affiliated to a GCC Salafi network is among the financiers of the Islamist militant group DAESH, noting the group is funded by some 127 individuals from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and other countries, reports Al- Seyassah daily.

In a televised interview, Al- Manna said he submitted the list of names of the financiers to the United Nations (UN) to facilitate the fight against DAESH by tracking its supporters globally. He noted the collusion of Turkey, Jordan and some parties in Lebanon had made it possible for the entry of foreign fighters to Syria.
