Did New York City's Time Square Failed SUV Bomber Get Cash From a Car Wash Business?

We hear a lot about international terrorism in the media, and we have heard many terrorist experts explain that the money flow is critical for the terrorists to succeed in their acts of violence on soft targets. The reality is they need a lot of money to plan their attacks and carry them out. They need to get this cash from somewhere, thus, if you follow the money you can catch the evil doers.

In a recent failed New York Times Square SUV bomber event, the solo terrorist got his money from somewhere to carry it out. In Connecticut, the assailant works for Affinion Group. This is where Faisal Shahazad worked for a modest salary was only down the street from several "cash type" businesses. Companies which work sell to the public and generate lots of cash and very few checks.

Did Faisal Shahazad have a friend working at one of those company's who was stealing or skimming cash? This is a common problem at these types of cash-businesses, was the owner of one of these cash businesses losing cash out the back door - was there a radicalized terrorist helpers working at any of these companies - where did Faisal Shahazad get all that money? Some say from the Taliban, which is interesting, and yet, is that information really reliable?

Was he also involved in drug sales to fund his operation as many radicalized terrorists cells engage to generate the money they need to do their dirty deeds? We've previously noted such business fronts in other parts of the country set up for such purposes. Could it be? Probably not, I mean it is a far-fetched theory, you have to admit. And yet, why am I suggesting this?

Because it's happened before, several times in NJ, Dallas, and other parts of the country. If so, this would be just one way that Faisal Shahazad got the "wads of cash" which has been reported and which he needed to fund his caper or rather his failed SUV cab bomb attempt at Times Square in New York.

According to CBS News; "Shahzad came under scrutiny by the Department of Homeland Security for bringing into the U.S. more than $80,000 in "cash or cash instruments" between 1999 and 2008. But clearly Shahzad had financial problems. He had a $200,000 mortgage on his 3-bedroom Shelton, CT home that he unsuccessfully tried to sell for three years. Then, in February of 2009, he took out an additional home equity loan for $65,000. But, it appears he never intended to repay that loan. Just the next month, he began defaulting on both loans."

It makes sense to look into these things and see if there is more to this story, we can never be too vigilant. Maybe it's time to look into all possible leads on this case? Think on it.
