Anas al-Tikrītī’s British bank accounts, alongside those of his family and his famed organization, Qurtubah, have been closed by the British government. Al-Tikrītī is a British citizen with Iraqi origins and is seen to be responsible for Muslim Brotherhood intelligence in London. This action, the first of its kind in Britain, is a sign of increased western pressure being placed on the Muslim Brotherhood’s foreign roots. As stated by al-Tikrītī following the closure of his accounts, we cannot possibly consider this action independent of all the work al-Tikrītī is involved in. Anas al-Tikrītī is the son of Osama al-Tikrītī, head of the Islamic Party of Iraq. The political science and translation graduate is peculiarly worth over $4Billion. GBP, even though his only, open, work involves encouraging Muslims to become involved in European, and in particular, British politics through his organization, Qurtubah. However, al-Tikrītī also personally led a protest in front of the Egyptian embassy on the third anniversary of the January 25th Revolution. Qurtubah is known in Europe for tarnishing Egypt’s image abroad, in favor for the Muslim Brotherhood, and for trying to persuade people to dismiss the legitimacy of the June 30th uprising. Surprisingly, al-Tikrītī also met with American president, Barack Obama, alongside a delegation from the Iraqi parliament. Undoubtedly, al-Tikrītī could not have come close to achieving any of these goals without having the influential Qurtubah organization on his side, which is considered by the British media to be the official spokesperson for the Muslim Brotherhood in London.
