Report: The Taliban made huge profits from the World Cup in Qatar

The extremist movement, which controls Afghanistan, leased huge machinery and building materials to contracting companies, which Qatar assigned the task of constructing stadiums and infrastructure to receive the tournament.

According to the newspaper, a large number of Taliban officials have received huge financial contributions from the Qatari state as a result of their residence in Doha since 2013 and their involvement in long-term peace negotiations with Washington and the United Nations.

Officials invested these contributions by purchasing huge construction machinery, and then leased them to contracting companies in charge of constructing stadiums and rehabilitating infrastructure in Qatar.

The report considered that the World Cup was a "golden goose" for Taliban officials, who made millions of dollars in profits.

He added, "Some Taliban members owned between 6 and 10 pieces of heavy construction machinery and were earning up to 10,000 pounds (more than $12,000) per machine per month."

The newspaper stated, quoting two different sources, that the Qatari authorities paid monthly salaries of hundreds of thousands of dollars to members of the Taliban's political bureau in Doha, with Washington's approval, to facilitate peace talks.

During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities.
