Diamonds, Al Qaeda; ABN Amro burning bank.
Global Witness questions 9/11 commission regarding diamonds
17/06/2004
snip
A draft report by the 9/11 Commission stating that Al Qaeda did not fund itself through trafficking in diamonds from African states engaged in civil wars is wrong and will damage international efforts to ensure that rough diamonds are not used to fund terrorism. Global Witness fears that unscrupulous elements of the diamond trade will use the draft report to undermine genuine and serious efforts being made by groups such as the US Department of Treasurys FinCEN and diamond financing banks such as ABN Amro to ensure that money laundering and terrorist financing are taken more seriously by the diamond industry.
snip
Further links emerged in November 2003 when Abdel Qadir Mamou, a Senegalese cleric, admitted that he met Bin Laden three times in Sudan from 1993 to 1996 to receive money to fund his diamond buying operations from West Africa into Belgium. Similarly, convicted Al Qaeda terrorist Nizar Trabelsi stated in court that he funded his operations through selling diamonds. Belgian and Dutch police believe he was part of a robbery involving $162 million worth of rough diamonds from Brussels airport in October 2000.

Trail of terrorist dollars that spans the world
By John Willman

snip
Al-Qaeda has been able to move money around the world through al-Shamal's correspondent network of banks that co-operate with the Sudanese bank in cross-border transactions. Al-Shamal's correspondents have included France's Credit Lyonnais, Germany's Commerzbank, Standard Bank of South Africa and Saudi Hollandi bank in Jeddah in which ABN Amro of the Netherlands has a 40 per cent stake.
These external links were used in 1993 when al-Qaeda bought an aircraft in the US to move Stinger ground-to-air missiles from Peshawar in Pakistan to Khartoum.

It sounds like these banks are "cashing out", swapping bonds (debt) for South American currencies...I think that this could have an effect on the dollar going down...

Indeed, I do remember that.
