OG Moti Posted May 25, 2003 The internet service, called somaliaonline.com, collects funds from non-resident Somalis, which is transferred back home. US authorities alleged tens of millions of dollars that have moved through the Al Baraakat have been skimmed off and diverted for the funding of Al Qaeeda. This organisation has its offices all over the world, including in Addis Ababa, Dirirdawa, Djabouti, Hargeisa, Jigjiga, Mogadishu, Nairobi, Wajeer, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, USA and Yemen. Waaaw this article says we are part of Alqaida, man is it possible our Nomad family could be terrorist group, NO NO it can not be... IT is TRUE Sister Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted May 25, 2003 loooooooooool No wonder why Tahelka.com is shut down by the indian goverment for not being a credible news reporting website. They mix things up. The company they are talking about was a division of Al-Barakaat and was providing internet connection for Somalia. The US government shut it down and froze its assets along with its Al-Barakaat parent company. I think it was called SOMALIA INTERNET COMPANY or something very close. Tahelka.com just couldn't get their facts straight again. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
