In addition, various sources alleged that Saudi Arabia is one source that has supported and funded the spread of Islamic extremism globally. GAO was asked to determine (1) what efforts U.S. government agencies are implementing to identify, monitor, and counter support and funding for the global propagation of Islamic extremism, particularly support and funding originating in Saudi Arabia; (2) what U.S. agencies and other entities have reported regarding support and funding for the global propagation of Islamic extremism, particularly any provided by Saudi sources (private entities, individuals, and the Saudi government), as well as sources in other countries; and (3) what efforts the Saudi government has taken to address Islamic extremism. GAO submitted this report to the intelligence agencies, the Departments of Defense (DOD), State, and the Treasury, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for their review and comment. The agencies had no formal comments, and their technical comments were incorporated, as appropriate. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-852/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-852.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-852/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-852.pdf GAO-05-852 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-852 Other Written Product GAO-05-852; International Affairs: Information on U.S. Agencies' Efforts to Address Islamic Extremism; Counterterrorism Foreign governments International relations Strategic planning Terrorism Monitoring Religious extremism Middle East Middle East Partnership Initiative Saudi Arabia Public Law 108-458
