Officials say al Qaida funds shift to crime for revenue
Officials report al Qaida and allied militants increasingly fund operations through crime such as drug dealing knockoff shampoos and pirated CDs while cracking down on global terror finance networks. U S Treasury notes tougher financial controls push groups toward petty crime and commodities fraud as safeguards tighten. The 9/11 commission cited hijackers funded by direct transfers or cash, with attacks costing between 400 000 and 500 000 dollars over two years.
