| Finnish Police Uncover Two More Suspects Linked to Terror Funding |
| 2011-10-12 |
| [An Nahar] A Finnish police probe into terrorist funding and recruitment has uncovered at least two more suspects, police said Tuesday, just over a month after making two arrests in raids in Helsinki. "Police suspect at least two new people of funding terrorism in addition to the earlier two suspects," the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said in a statement. The NBI said one of the new suspects was a Finnish citizen and that both were currently outside the country, although not believed to be fleeing authorities. On September 7, Finnish police tossed in the clink a man and a woman on suspicion of funding and recruiting for overseas terrorist organizations, while the daily Ilta-Sanomat quoted unidentified police sources saying both were Finnish citizens of Somali origin. Intelligence officials launched the probe in 2009 after a routine police check caught their attention. "The case involves many individuals, some of whom are abroad... during the course of the investigation many witnesses have been interviewed and requests for international legal help have been made," the NBI said. Police added that the woman who was tossed in the clink in September had been freed but was ordered not to leave the country. |

| #1 Instead of permitting a huge terror industry to develop, it would appear the Finns are going about their anit-terrorism program in the correct manner, that being to follow the money. We not only ingnore the money, but the sponsoring state as well. Even more troubling, we continue to fund the state. |
