The Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman welcomed the EU's decision to add Saudi Arabia to the black list of countries that pose a threat to the EU because of its indulgence with the financing of terrorism and money laundering.

"The European Union move has been delayed a lot," said Karman on Facebook.

Karman added: The fact is that Saudi support for terrorism, breeding it and cloning it is a practice that threatens the international peace and security, not just the European Union.
