More Terrorist Funding by Credit Card Fraud

According to an article in Scotlands Herald another string of card skimming devices has been discovered, this time in Scotland.

The Herald is reporting a direct tie to terrorism although they did not say how officials made that connection. The article mentions Osama bin Laden devotee Imam Samudra, but provides no connection between him and the card skimming devices that were discovered.

According to this report, 5000 credit cards were compromised, a potential street value of £1M.
