Britain's MI5 track activity on gambling websites | IXGAMES
Staffers for Britain’s MI5 intelligence agency have formed a new version of Gambler’s Anonymous – assembling a team of spies trained to track Islamic terrorists who are using gambling websites to launder large sums of money that ends up funding al-Qaida groups around the world, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin. The spies all have undergone crash courses in how to spot suspicious bets on the mushrooming number of gambling sites on the Internet. There are now over 3,000 sites where bets can be placed on anything. Millions of British pounds pass through the sites every day. Often the money is diverted to recruit and train potential terrorists in Britain. Some of the largest bets have been traced to British gamblers using sites operating as far afield as the Netherlands, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Hong Kong. The follow-the-money trail has led the MI5 officers to banks in the Middle East and Pakistan. The officers also suspect some of the gamblers may have access to the high-protection Islamic encryption software known as Mujahideen Secrets-2. Its arrival on the Internet was only discovered late last year. 
The software has been created to form the nucleus of al-Qaida’s first *jihad university on-line,* counter-terrorism specialist Terry Pattar told a closed security conference in London over the New Year. (The software provides a variety of programs that offer a whole course of how to carry out attacks without having to train abroad. The funding for this comes from money laundered through the gambling websites). Regards ixgames
