Russia’s anti-terrorist committee has confirmed to RT that it has busted a foreign financial network used to supply money to militants in the North Caucasus.
Officials say funding from abroad enabled the recent surge of terror attacks in the region, namely in Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia.
The money was brought to Russia by ‘mules’, but the security forces are withholding the names of the countries they came from and the exact sums involved.
Officials say a whole terror financing network has been uncovered and an investigation is underway to reveal exactly who is financing terrorism in the Caucasus.
The network involved dummy corporations and banks. The money was handed over to militant leaders, like Doku Umarov, who is on the international most wanted list and is believed to have masterminded the Moscow Metro bombings in March, which claimed over 40 lives and left over 100 people injured.
The militant leaders are believed to have used some of the money to fund terror acts and kept a larger sum for themselves.
The secret services say it is likely that foreign funding of terrorism in Russia is still going on, despite the recent sting, and they continue to hunt for those responsible.

Of course, these days one can expect that Turkey will be targeted for intrigue. Just like the madrasas in Pakistan that attracted countless poor boys into "schools" to become "taliban" or students, everyone knows that the money and the strategic concept came from elsewhere. In Caucases, and Central Asia, money is by for more likely to come from Afghanistan drug money, drugs themselves --- which are fungible just like money --- and the reserves of drugs amounting to twenty years worth of supply. These drugs, labs that convert opium into heroin, and the transporation routes, are well protected in spite of war. How exactly will the cash and weapons find their way to the hands of paid mercenaries that pass off as "insurgents", is anybody's guess. Afghanistan produces 90% of world's opium. Address this problem by going directly to those who are enabling it: NATO in Afghanistan. If not addressed, this new Opium War may be by far deadlier then the one that hit China.












With holding the names of countries. Why? Anyway thanks to US court cases publish online we know which countries they are being Turkey, Saudi Arabia, US, Qatar, Pakistan, UK and being organised out of London. It is an open secret that British intelligence works with and uses radical Muslim groups to recruit from Universities to fight in Chechnya. @MEJanssen The guy is CIA nothing he has disclosed has brought any major revelations that were not public knowledge and has not revealed NATO's role in the drug trade in Afghanistan or support of Islamic terrorism.
