Hillary Clinton on Monday accused Saudi Arabia and its neighbours of allowing radicalism to thrive.

"It is long past time for the Saudis, the Qataris, and the Kuwaitis and others to stop their citizens from funding extremist organisations," Clinton said in a speech."And they should stop supporting radical schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people on a path toward extremism," she added.
