On September 11, terrorists hit the World Trade Centre, and the Pentagon, in
a series of orchestrated strikes against the United States of America.
Within hours, President George W Bush declared a global war against
terrorism. A fortnight after Black Tuesday gave that war concrete shape
when the US Administration released a list of 27 organisations and
individuals that allegedly indulge in terrorist activities on a global
scale. The list includes non-governmental organisations and even a company suspected of having a link with terrorist groups.
The US has moved to freeze any and all bank accounts belonging to these
groups and individuals. Other countries have been quick to follow suit. Law enforcement agencies in the US and elsewhere have proclaimed this is merely a beginning, that the 27 entities named in the list will be
subjected to concerted action aimed at defusing them and negating their
capacity for evil.
Who are these 27 individuals and entities? Where are they based? Who are
their leaders? What is their ideology? Where do they operate?
Here's everything you wanted to know about the global dealers in death.
