Spain Nabs Seven Bad Guys

Spanish authorities have announced that they have captured seven terror financiers. The seven are said to have helped finance the al Qaeda linked GSPC.

BBC:

At least seven people have been arrested in Spain on suspicion of helping to fund an Islamist terror group said to have links with al-Qaeda....

He said the detainees were suspected of raising money and providing logistical support for the Salafist Group for Call and Combat - an Algerian-based extremist group.

He said the group was "perfectly structured", had a hierarchy and was dedicated to committing petty crime and forging documents and credit cards.

Mr Alonso added that money was sent to Algeria either in person or through a complex system of bank transfers that made it difficult to trace.

It's interesting to note that the BBC actualy uses the word 'salafist' to describe the terror oranization. Many in the West believe Wahhabism is the major Islamic problem, but it isn't. Salaafiyism is.
