WorldNetDaily: U.S. fails to follow terror money trail: "Criminal investigators of all kinds have long believed the best route to solving crimes is by 'following the money.'
So far, according to government investigators, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies trying to track the funding sources of international terrorists haven't done such a good job.
Terrorists, says a General Accounting Office report, use the illicit drug trade, interstate cigarette dealing and charities as principal sources of money-raising in the U.S. According to officials from the ATF, Hezbollah, Hamas, and al-Qaida have earned assets through trafficking in contraband cigarettes or counterfeit cigarette stamps. The report includes a diagram highlighting bootlegging from North Carolina to Michigan with the profits going to Lebanon."
