 AL QAIDA STRUGGLES WITH FUNDING DROP |
BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military has determined that Al Qaida in Iraq was
struggling with a decline in funds.Officials said military intelligence has assessed that the Al Qaida
network in Iraq has experienced a drop in funding from Saudi Arabia and
Syria. They said this has forced the network to generate revenues in Iraq,
largely through crime."It has to use the Sunni population to gain money to finance their
operation," said Lt. Col. Morris Goins, commander of 1st Battalion, 12th
Cavalry, Multinational Division North.Goins told a June 4 briefing that Al Qaida has been forced to change its
methods of operation in the Diyala province northeast of Baghdad. He said Al
Qaida, rather than paying recruits, has been intimidating Sunnis to join or
help the network.
