Silly conjecture like the 2nd sentence is useless. What in the world do YOU know about Al Qaeda money flows, hmmmm? Share with us your source of knowledge, por favor. The question should surprise me because there is so much detailed info regarding AQ money flows now readily available from open source material. But, I have learned that the motivation behind many SI questions is not to obtain an answer. Nevertheless, here is one answer. ccc.nps.navy.mil Here is some more info - ""Stopping the flow of funds to al-Qaeda and affiliated terrorist groups has proved to be essentially impossible," Lee Hamilton, the vice chairman of the commission that investigated the September 11 attacks, told the House Financial Services Committee. Al-Qaeda has found ways to skirt US efforts to shut off its sources of money, said Hamilton, who cited a report on terrorism financing prepared by the staff of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. "Despite our efforts, it appears that al-Qaeda can still find money to fund terrorist operations," he said. Muslim charities "Al-Qaeda now relies to an even greater extent on the physical movement of money and other informal methods of value transfer, which can pose significant challenges for those attempting to detect and disrupt money flows," Hamilton said. Before September 11, the Islamic extremist group financed its $30-million a year budget by diverting money from Muslim charities and using "facilitators" who gathered funds from "witting and unwitting" people, Hamilton said. Prosecuting al-Qaeda fundraisers remains difficult, as US authorities have been unable to acquire financial records from other countries and have struggled to link funding sources to the extremist group, he added." Try google. The amount of available data re AQ funding and funding sources is too much to post here.
