Iran, being a Shia state, finances the Shia`s. The Saudi`s, being Sunni, do likewise. The main source of funds for Al Qaeda is, or at least was, from several wealthy Saudi patrons. Much was raised under the guise of charity, just like Noraid. Form a book i have been reading it seems the poorer regions in the south are a major recruting ground. Disaffected youths are impressionable once the reach the many religious universities in Saudi. I guess it works much the same as how neo nazi parties are able to recruit in the west.

That said, its still an interesting link and thanks for posting it.
Whats the old saying ? Keep your enemies close and youre friends closer !

here they essentially do the same thing.  they attract less advantaged/educated kids from the poorer districts with education packages, promises of a great future and gi joe here we go mentality.

as far as funding goes the cia funded them to fight russia and created them.  Thats the problem with mercernary groups aka private armies.  aka blackwater.
