Report: Schools launder terror money

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, March 4 (UPI) -- A U.S. State Department report says terrorist groups have used schools in Pakistan to launder money and finance their activities.

"Another issue is the use of madrassas (religious schools) as training grounds for terrorists," Pakistan's Dove newspaper quoted the report, the International Narcotics Control Report for 2007, said the Press Trust of India.

"The lack of control of madrassas, similar to the lack of control of Islamic charities, allows terrorist organizations to receive financial support under the guise of support of Islamic education," the newspaper quoted from the report.

Dove reported the United States does not consider Pakistan a center for money-laundering. The U.S. report said money-laundering in Pakistan is often done through the alternative remittance "hawala" system, the Press Trust of India reported.

>>>A U.S. State Department report says terrorist groups have used schools in Pakistan to launder money and finance their activities.

And they have received donations from U.S. Private Schools.

Little carboard boxes come home, kids fill it up with their coins, the Catholic Schools send it back to them.

We ought to get real about Pakistan and blast their nuke activities and weapons right off the map; allow India to rearrange the Kashmir area to their own liking; and simultaneously issue a very straightforward edict to Iran; an eviction notice to the UN; dollar-for-dollar trade balances with China, and put S.Korea on notice that they can reunite with N Korea once the smoke clears N of the Z. Oh Yeah -- reinstate the draft...we've been heading south as a nation ever since we quit it, except for some upward movement between 1981 and 1989.
