A report is out that shows definitive links between organized crime in Bulgaria and islamic jihad groups in the Middle East. From the article at Times Online:
Two things that this report shows: First, it helps explain what always appears as a continuous flow of cash into the hands of groups like Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad and second, it shows the kind of "company" that the jihadists keep. I'd love to ask the leaders of Hezbollah how their accepting money from the Bulgarian prostitution ring honors allah?
And look at Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Supposedly, the terror groups in Gaza and the West Bank are supposed to be cut off from funding from anyone in the world but yet they continue to have weapons galore and more and more advanced rockets. This explains some of that. It's common knowledge that Iran is supporting Hezbollah, for example, but now we discover some of the back up plans of Hezbollah in case the Iranian gravy train should be slowed or halted.
“Bulgarian crime groups engaged in trafficking . . . drugs sometimes work together with Arab citizens linked to terrorist organisations,” the MPs said.
“We can make the conclusion that part of the money accumulated from drug trafficking is used to finance the work of terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Christian militias.”

Organised crime link to Islamic terror exposed
Bulgaria’s Government was accused of high-level involvement with organised crime gangs yesterday, in a hard-hitting report that highlighted the failure of the ruling coalition to stamp out corruption or convict anyone for 150 gangland killings.
Government secrets were leaked to mafia figures involved in drug trafficking and a senior minister met alleged underworld bosses regularly, according to the investigation by MPs into corruption in the Interior Ministry. The profits of the drug trade were channelled to terrorist groups in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East.
The report came after Georgi Stoev, who wrote about the Bulgarian mafia, and Borislav Georgiev, the chief of a nuclear energy company, were murdered this week. It also follows a call from the European Commission for urgent action against corruption and organised crime, with €6.85 billion (£5.5 billion) of EU aid hanging in the balance.
EU officials are frustrated that the pressure they can put on Bulgaria to carry out reforms to its police and judiciary is limited now that it has been allowed into the 27-nation body. They are also worried that sanctions will lead to the collapse of the Government of Sergei Stanishev, the reformist Prime Minister.
The MPs’ report spoke of “worrying practices in the functioning of the Interior Ministry that have led to a lower ability to uncover crime, due to the leaking of classified information to criminals under investigation”.
