<\/A>Q: So how does<\/EM> a terrorist make money these days to fund his activities? <\/P>\nA: Porn.

It’s one thing if porn is between “willing” participants, but to force helpless tribal people into it, and then dubbing over their voices is just sick!<\/P>\n <\/P>\n “We know the insurgents are behind these films. When we process their raw stock, we can see boys standing around with automatic rifles and revolvers pulling in girls but we are supposed to cut all that out and just concentrate on the sex<\/STRONG>,” the owner said. \n “It is very good money and we don’t think it is right to question the insurgents anyway<\/STRONG>,” he said.<\/BLOCKQUOTE>\n<\/p>\n\n So what is the NLFT’s purpose anyways?\n Let’s review. They want to set up a God-fearing Christian fundamentalist state with the help of Islamic militants and they do so by forcing tribal people into porn. Then they use the profits to terrorize people.

“We get a lot more money , much above our normal rates, to process these films and deliver a sleek final product. \n
The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was formed in December 1989 for the purpose of seceding from India in order to create an independent Christian fundamentalist state of Tripura<\/STRONG>. The group was banned under the Unlawful Activies Prevention Act of 1967.
The headquarters of NLFT is located in the Khagrachari district of Bangladesh, about 40-45 km southeast of Simanapur… The NLFT has set up a number of camps in Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), in the Sylhet, Maulavi Bazar, Habiganj and Comilla regions. NLFT also has ties with Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI).<\/STRONG> [Link<\/A>]<\/BLOCKQUOTE>\nThe lieutenant colonel mentioned that up to 75% of all kiddie porn is distributed on the Internet. About 90% of Interpol’s international searches dealing with computer crimes are devoted to this issue. Chepchugov also said that the income earned from porn sales is a considerable part of the black market.
