| Description | According to a recent U.S. military intelligence report, insurgents depend on external donors to finance attacks in Iraq. Attacks the United States believes are being bankrolled with Saudi money.
U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Florida, tried to turn it into a campaign issue on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
"I believe a real test of leadership for President Bush would be to let the American people know what the Saudis are doing and what he intends to do about it if he continues as president," Graham said.
The Pentagon believes wealthy Saudi individuals and charities, sympathetic to Iraqi rebels, are providing the cash. U.S. officials say that money is being funneled through Syria, a charge the Saudi government rejects.
