In my last week article “Quadruple Helix …” I shortly hinted to financial connection between Wahhabi organizations and international terrorism. I also pointed historical and social link between organized crime groups and political leaders and the international dimensions of system which I called as Quadruple Helix model. Today I was reading news from Axis Eurasian Secret Services Daily Review and one of them popped to my eyes immediately related to my earlier – maybe a little bit provocative – article. I quote:
Russian special services have managed to find out the name of one of organizers of the last month's terror attacks in Mumbai, India, news agencies are reporting. According to Director of Russia's Federal Anti-Narcotics Service Viktor Ivanov, drug baron Dawood Ibrahim was directly involved in the incident.
"The gathered inputs testify that infamous regional drug baron Dawood Ibrahim had provided his logistics network for preparing and carrying out the Mumbai terror attacks by the militants," news agency RIA Novosti cites the top Russian official. In an interview to the government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta Ivanov said the Mumbai mayhem is a 'burning example' of the use of illegal drug trafficking network for perpetrating terrorism. "The super profits of the narco-mafia through Afghan heroin trafficking have become a powerful source of financing organized crime and terrorist networks, destabilizing the political systems, including in Central Asia and Caucasus," Ivanov marked.
Dawood Ibrahim sought by India for 1993 Mumbai (then Bombay) serial blasts, killing 257, is said to be among the list of wanted persons sent to Islamabad in the wake of last month's Mumbai terror attacks organized by Lashkar-e-Taiba, Rossiiskaya Gazeta noted.
This information seems to hint that secular organized crime and religious fanaticism are not so far away, they can find common political targets and they can mplement joint operations.
