Re: [meteorite-list] NWA meteorites - money for terrorism?

[Stefan Ralew]

Hello Richard & Robert Pellison and List,

beautiful concpiracy theory! But where are the real facts? Thousands of deserts nomads in the service of Al Qaida? I`m sorry, but this story ist nonsense for me. It is fact that many nomads trade her meteorites for food and other goods at markets in Morocco. The Moroccan mineral dealers make the real money. I know many of this mineral dealers personally and these aren't terrorists!

It is the same propaganda which is already used against NWA meteorites.

Best regards,
Stefan

NWA meteorites - money for terrorism?
http://www.saharamet.com/meteorite/data/Sahara/Nwa.html


1 - NWA meteorites are undocumented stones "bought" in Morocco.
2 - There is no potential prospecting field in Morocco to supply this market.
3 - More than 95% of the NWA meteorites come from Algeria, Libya and up to Egypt.
4 - The border between Morocco and Algeria has officially been closed since 1994. Islamic army groups cross the border.
                        NWA meteorites = contraband meteorites

Some serious facts:
- 2 of the 11 international terrorist organizations which have been target of the Bush government since September 11th live in Algeria:
    - GIA (Armed Islamic Group)
    - GSPC (Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat)
- 30 Europeen hostages have been rescued from Islamic groups by a military attack between the Acfer and the Tanezrouf meteorite strewnfields in 2003.
- Well organized smuggling rings act through the militarized no man's land between the two countries.
- NWA meteorite contraband is still financed by private investors who prefer to stay "anonymous".
- The track of the millions of dollars involved in this traffic is lost on the Algerian border.
