Who's funding Abu Musab al-Zarqawi ????
I donât have a URL but I donât see any good analysis on this and I wonder if anyone else has.al-Zarqawi doesnât need much money for video and he doesnât need much money for food and I think he probably has plenty of stockpiled bombs. However, he needs money, probably a lot of money, to pay his lackeys enough to avoid them going to the coalition for the reward money; he also probably needs to bribe whoever he is staying with to keep quiet. Even more, he needs real money not the old dinar. Its not easy to get lots of money in Iraq these days for al Q on its own because of all the currency and banking controls. There must be: 1. couriers (we apparently caught a few of these but they either didnât know where al-Z was or didnât tell us soon enough) 2. sources giving to couriers - do some rich Saudis still contribute to this kind of thing even with the heat they must be feeling these days; could Iran be risking totally ticking off the Shia or Iraq by funding this guy; could he have gold bars stolen (or donated) from the Baathists; could their be a rouge leftist coalition in the west that is donating in the hopes of killing Americans?
