| #1 Yeah, and the mafia is cutting heads off of meters to survive. I don't buy that they have absolutely lost their funding base, although I believe they sell phone cards. Resource diversification and all, but I'm willing to be they sell a little heroin here and there and fence goods and engage in piracy. They are criminal terrorists and have their hands in the black market no doubt. This article leads one to believe they're standing on the street corner hawking long distance minutes for jihad. I'd bet its a bit more sophisticated than that, but hell $600 a day ain't bad for illicit phone card sales. Thats $200,000 a year and can still be used to support several terror cells for at least a year. EP |
