The bank accounts of more than 5,000 suspected terrorists are being monitored by Britain's biggest financiers following fresh intelligence from MI5.
It has also emerged that financial details provided by banks played a key part in last month's arrests involving an alleged plot to blow up airliners and the more recent arrests linked to an alleged network of training terror camps.
Banks have been told to monitor 'cross-border payments' amid evidence that British-based cells are affiliated to terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda. A senior banking source said: 'Every cross-border payment passes through an electronic system. The cross-border stuff we are particularly interested in.'

The terror threat is bigger than we imagine.
Financial tracking, any method that helps us track the terrorists, uncover, and foil their plots to murder us by the thousands should be used.

I suspect the DNC, ALCU, NAACP, CODE PINK, MoveON.org, the Democrat Underground, etc, etc,...... would disapprove of this technique of watching the bastards....
The civilized world should deprive the 7th century anchored assholes of EVERY benefit of "civilization" -- including Air Flight, banking, rail travel, buses, telephones, etc, etc....without tight and close surveillance.
Let the bastards walk or ride their camels instead of screwing them..

I have to agree with my fellow Grunt!
Sooner or later all Americans are going to have to come to the realization that muslims want all non-muslims D...E...A...D!
And whether it be this year, this decade or this millennium;
we will have to give the muslims the war they so desperately want.
Only this time, we will finish the job.
