#4 In 'Day of Islam', author Paul Williams places several AQ cells in Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile, where Iquique became a money-laundering center for ME men with EU passports. He also claims Bin Laden purchased homes, offices, and apartment buildings in Peru as safe havens and bases of operations, with the help of former head of Peruvian intelligence Vladmiro Montesinos. Hiding radical Muslims among the Roman Catholic community, they also provided phony documents and tourist visas, smuggling hundreds from Iraq, Jordan, and other Islamist countries into Dulles and Detroit. Other details in chapter 10.
