Investigation goes on in Central Florida
2002-02-02
  • Law enforcement officials are tracking a terrorist cell that works in Central Florida. Al-Qaida groups launder money through legal businesses. The money is then transferred to off-shore accounts in the Bahamas or the Caribbean. The money winds up in Afghanistan and other countries, funding terrorism. "In nine counties there's a lot going on," the Orange County Sheriff said. "We get a lot of raw intelligence and the feds are also looking at suspects and running down leads."
    There are probably dozens or even hundreds of similar investigations going on throughout the country. Some "Channel 9 Eyewitness News" guys happened to notice this one and the report pops up over the background noise. The public will have forgotten by next week.
