> Flashback: Cars stolen in US used in suicide attacks
21 October 2006, 15:15
In the Tampa-Sarasota Fl area Muslim car dealers ship used and or stolen vehicles to Sea Ports in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, Dubai UAE and Aqaba Jordan for re-birthing with new papers, resale and or re-exporting. Just for example, a used car dealer in Tampa Fl would arrange with a vehicle forwarding agent in Georgia to send 5 to 7 vehicles a month to the JAX-Port in Jacksonville were the cars would be sent by rail to Savanah GA for transfer to a shipping line container ship bound for Jeddah SA or Dubai. this route out of Tampa is used due to the high security out of the Port of Miami, there are no shipping routes out of Tampa to the Middle East.
Such a used car shipment would cost $1,200 per vehicle, but since a late model Lexus SUV would bring 2 times the retail when sold in the Middle East (Iraq) as compared to the USA, the profit margin is huge, especially if the car had been stolen, do the math.
"SOME VEHICLES SHIPPED TO THE MIDDLE EAST, (SAUDI ARABIA, JORDAN, KUWAIT AND DUBAI) BOTH LEGALLY AND ILLEGALLY, ARE USED TO SUPPORT TERRORISM AND IN SOME CASES ARE USED AS CAR BOMBS IN IRAQ", PER QUOTE OF STEVE EMERSON.
