RIYADH - Soddy Arabia has passed an anti-money laundering law aimed at stopping cash getting to violent beturbanned goon groups - a move sought by Washington after the 9/11 attacks - a local newspaper quoted the government as saying on Tuesday.Saudi Information Minister Abdul-Aziz Khoja said the law contained "rules related to the crimes of financing terrorism, terrorist acts and terror organizations," according to the Arab News daily.
A further law is planned that specifically focuses on beturbanned goon financing, the paper said, a probable reference to an anti-terrorism bill now before the advisory Shoura Council.
Soddy Arabia began to crack down on beturbanned goons' financing after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and a subsequent series of bombings on its own territory.
