“My Written Statement for Congress on Credit Card Use by Terrorists”
By Andrew Cochran

SNIPPET: “Younes Tsouli, aka “Terrorist 007,” and his two associates, Waseem Mughal and Tariq al-Daour, used computer viruses and stolen credit card accounts to set up a network of communication forums and web sites that hosted everything from tutorials on computer hacking and bomb making to videos of beheadings and suicide bombing attacks in Iraq. They raised funds through credit card information theft and fraud, which were used to support the communications, propaganda and recruitment for terrorists worldwide, as well as to purchase equipment for Jihadists in the field. One expert described their activities as “operating an online dating service for al-Qaeda.” The three men pled guilty to inciting terrorist murder via the internet.

• Stolen credit card numbers and identities were used to buy web hosting services. At least 72 stolen credit card accounts were used to register more than 180 web site domains at 95 different web hosting companies in the U.S. and Europe.
• On one computer seized from al-Daour’s apartment, some 37,000 stolen credit card numbers were found. Alongside each credit card record was other information on the identity theft victims, such as the account holder’s address, date of birth, credit balances and limits.”
