Money Continues To Flow Into [Asia's] Terrorist Funds
Institute For Topical Studies, Chennai, India
Supplied note: "The latest paper of the Institute For Topical Studies, A-2/3, Bharathi Dasan Colony, K.K.Nagar, Chennai---600078, India, (Tele.Fax.No. 44-4895235) on the above subject is now available at the Web site of the South Asia Analysis Group (SAAG), New Delhi, at [the URL below] - br."
["It has reportedly been estimated by the experts of the Monitoring Committee of the UN Security Council, which monitors the implementation of the UNSC Resolution No. 1373, that despite the freezing/seizure of terrorist funds and other assets worth US $ 112 million since 9/11, Al Qaeda and its allies in the International Islamic Front still have at their disposal about US $ 300 million. Replenishments continue to flow into their funds. .... According to an estimate prepared by the USA's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) cited during a Congressional testimony on August 1,2002, the terrorist strikes of 9/11 in the USA would have cost Al Qaeda anywhere between $303,672 and $500,000. As against this, Al Qaeda is alleged to have spent about US $ one million for ensuring the victory of the pro-Al Qaeda and pro-Taliban candidates in the recent Pakistan elections." The author of the paper, Mr B. Raman, is Additional Secretary (retd), Cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India - ed.]

India's archaic land laws inhibiting development
Asia Intelligence Ltd., London, UK
Self-description: "India's archaic land laws inhibiting development - EIR [AsiaInt Economic Intelligence Review - ed.] October 2002. Bureaucracy [... and existing] land laws [...] profoundly distort the market for real estate in India. Problems include inadequate land records, high and arbitrary stamp duties, confusing zoning rules, socialistic restrictions on rentals and the quantity of land which may be owned, illegal squatters, and the risk of Public Interest Litigation. In addition, mortgage lending by financial institutions is stifled by the need for a civil law suit to take action against a mortgagee who defaults on payments."
