Abd al-Rahman Khalaf al-Anizi

Abd aL-Rahman Khalaf al-Anizi (born approximately 1973)[1] is a Kuwaiti national who fundraises for the al-Nusra Front for the People of the Levant, ISIS, and al-Qaida.[2] Since 2008 he has worked with senior al-Qaida officials to facilitate the flow of funds from Kuwait to Syria and helped pay for the travel of foreign fighters from Syria to Iraq. He has also recruited for al-Qaida in Afghanistan in Kuwait and Iran. Since 2013 he has been more directly involved in gathering funds, operatives, and logistics for terrorist groups in Syria.

In 2014 Foreign Policy listed Anizi in their annual 100 Global Thinkers as an Agitator, a category dedicated to those who have caused significant international splintering and violence.[3]
