Al-Qaida’s four-star financier?

Featured by NBC, this article painted a vivid glimpse of the type of difficulties the West is facing in the War on Terror. Perhaps it's just the way Governments all over the world work, as opposed to the private sector - which really accounts for why NBC has a head start on this over the machinery of the US Govt and it's allies. Perhaps the basis for Al Qaeda's power reaches deeper than many would care or even want to belief.

The fact remains that any war needs to be funded. Weapons need to be paid for and operations require capital. The was has taken every dimension imaginable and suffocating the supply of finance is just one of the many battles being waged... and if this article is to be believed, lost as well.
