It's pretty bad when the wave of the future (IE militant Islam) is reduced to selling phone cards to keep going.
AsiaMedia :: INDONESIA: Terrorists 'selling phone cards'Looks like. Apparently they can earn up to $500 a day doing this. But it also makes them easier to find.Jakarta --- Terrorists in Indonesia are facing funding problems and are resorting to selling mobile phone vouchers to raise cash after money from Saudi Arabia was cut off last year, National Police chief Gen. Sutanto said on Monday.
Sutanto said that the funding from a terrorist cell in Saudi Arabia was disrupted after security authorities arrested last year a man identified only by his initials, "AS," who had been receiving the funds from couriers.
"They (terrorists) now face difficulties in obtaining money to finance their operations with the arrest of this man. We've cut their access to money," Sutanto told the House of Representatives Commission III on legal affairs.
It's a catch-22 - in order to bomb folks, you've got to get money. To get money, you've got to get a job. You get a job, folks know where they can find you. Folks can find you... so can the police. But you need the money in order to finance your operations...
Sucks to be a terrorist these days. No Saudi love any more, and though your religion says you're supposed to be on top - you've got to sell phone cards to keep going. Wonder how long it'll be before they go "You know, this just isn't worth it." And then turn to telemarketing?
