Sydafrikas underrättelsetjänst, NIA,
står ju inte så ofta i rampljuset.
Därför blev förvåningen desto större
när jag snubblade över en informativ
och utförlig NIA-rapport om Hamas
subversiva verksamhet. Rapporten
bygger på en briefing som NIA utarbetade
åt president Thabo Mbeki omkring sekel-
skiftet, men har sedan aktualiserats.
Här är ett intressant avsnitt om den
sunnimuslimska terrorismens olika
finansieringskällor:

"Transfer of funds:
The organisations main funding comes from Iran
and Saudi Arabia, while additional funding comes
from fundamentalist Muslim organisations in the
West (30% of the organisations funds come
from such organisations). The main organisation
collecting funds in South Africa is AL-AQSA,
based in Johannesburg.
INTERPAL could be described as the HAMAS
fund in Western Europe.
HAMAS through INTERPAL operate on an
international basis through a global network of
AL-AQSA structures
(HAMAS = INTERPAL = AL-AQSA).
In Western Europe the base of AL-AQSA is in
Germany with sub-bases in the Netherlands
and Belgium.
The AL-AQSA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION 's
head office is London and it supports HAMAS's
terror campaign against Israel
**
From EUROPE -- Funds are transferred
from Europe through secondary foundations:
a) AL-AQSA Foundation in Germany, which
raises funds in the Netherlands and Belgium;
b) CBSP FOUNDATION in France, which
raises funds in Austria and Switzerland.
c) Funds from Scandinavia are directly
transferred to INTERPAL in Britain.
Finances are directed from Britain.

From the United States

in South America.
c) A bank account in the name of T.A.I.T.
(a company) channels funds to HAMAS
apparatuses and infrastructure in the territories.
**
From the Gulf States
a) Most of the Islamic financial institutions with
the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD operate in the
Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the
United Arab Emirates).

according to the world wide deployment
of branches of those institutions.
For example the El' MOUNASERA FUND in
Kuwait transfers funds via INTERPAL in
Britain (its overseas branch).
The AMMAN-based charitable works authority
in the UAE transfers funds through the authority's
branch in Jordan.
Official funds are transferred from Saudi Arabia
to the territories through INTERPAL in Britain
and the HOLYLAND FOUNDATION in the

Gulf funds are unofficially divided into
Muslim or private funds, except for Saudi
Arabia, where the source of some
of the funds transferred to HAMAS is
official.
**
From Iran

annually to HAMAS, as well as assistance
in the form of training and weapons.

Lebanon, Syria and Jordan through the Iranian
embassies.

the FALLEN SOLDIERS FUND in Lebanon
(a financial body that serves HEZBOLLAH).
