ISLAMABAD: A U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks says donors in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are sending an estimated $100 million annually to radical Islamic schools in Pakistan that back militancy.

The cable says the donations have been made ``ostensibly with the direct support'' of the Saudi and Emirati governments. The schools target poor boys in southern Punjab province for indoctrination and send some of them off to military training to fight against the Pakistani government and the West.

3. Hopefully not for such would seem tantamount to funding terrorism

Glad Wikileaks is bringing forth the truth.
