Re: Grim Weekend
Their operations are now totally decentralised and the terrorist acts are planned and financed independently, by people with no links to the top leadership, or the Tora Bora 12 as we call them. I know.
There is no way paying anyone now would stop this kind of thing. What stops it is vigilance and sheer hard work.

AlQaeda isn't run from an underwater HQ where they have swordfish patrolling the perimeter and the OBL watching a floor-to-ceiling monitor and a map of the world on a large table in the middle.

Re: Grim Weekend
There is no central bank account, or accounts, that Alqaeda use to hand out money to terrorists, so it's impossible to launder money like that, because of the very nature of the enemy and how it has changed..
The atrocities in Madrid are an example of this- the animals responsible had no link of any kind to Alqaeda 'leadership'. Apart from being inspired by them, and seeing/hearing recordings, nothing at all. Oh yeah, and being worthless excuses for human beings, of course.
The kind of scum we are talking about, they hope to inspire others with their actions, and would consider any kind of agreement with any government an unforgivable compromise. Even their relationship with the Taliban was very uncomfortable and they were barely tolerated. Now they would not honour any agreement, or instruction from above. There has been in fact no 'up above' in that group, since about ten years ago, and no real network as such.

Re: Grim Weekend
The system attracted attention when the United States pointed out that chief terror suspect Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network transferred funds through hawala and cited the UAE as a transit point from where most of the money spent by terrorists for the 9/11 operations was reportedly transferred.
show them this as well

Re: Grim Weekend
So Blue cat where is the link to this statement? Transferring and paying are very different accusations.

Re: Grim Weekend
What's the point of people who join and post in forums purely to be contrary? It's so very dull. I think EW is the natural home of ill-informed posts and general stirring to annoy people with idiotic nonsense.
