eBay Used to Fund Terror Plot
Suspects in an alleged plot to blow up flights from Britain to the US helped finance their operation by buying and selling items on internet auction site eBay, the American ABC News reported today.
An intelligence report cited by the US television network says that a suspect, Assad Sarwar, 26, “used eBay extensively” to raise funds for the plot.
“It is believed they would sell and purchase items to make a profit to fund (the) plot,” it said.
The report said Sarwar also surfed the internet to price and purchase supplies, including 20 litres of hydrogen peroxide, bought online from a hydroponic gardening centre.
