Banned outfits using quake to fill coffers

PESHAWAR: Banned militant organisations are taking advantage of people’s sympathies with the earthquake victims by collecting donations for the “mujahideen” on the unofficial Eid day in Peshawar. “Donate generously to the Jaish-e-Muhammad’s mujahideen,” a bearded young member of the organisation was heard shouting near Baghan-e-Naaran Park in Hayatabad.

Besides Jaish, other banned organisations operating with new names, like Jamatud Dawaa (formerly Lashkar-e-Taiba), also used the occasion to collect donations from the faithful. JD, which is on a government watch list, has been very active in collecting donations for the earthquake victims. “What if the government has banned the Jaish. We are carrying out our mission,” a Jaish supporter told Daily Times, refusing to be named.

#2  You know those exploding dye packets that banks use to foil robberies? Replace the dye with C-4.

If this world has any brains it will permanently cease all emergency monetary aid contributions to Islamist regimes and permit only manufactured goods to be distributed with direct oversight. I realize this article deals with terrorist organizations collecting under false pretenses, but a precedent needs to be set in terms of depriving all uncertified organizations of any currency-based donations.

We've already seen terrorist infrastructure being co-opted for the distribution of relief aid. Let's please get out the jumbo sized cluebat.
