eBay is exploited by terrorists

Investigation agencies are suspecting that those accused of bombing a number of flights from Britain to the US have used eBay as a financial aid tool.

American television network ABC News on October 11 cited an intelligence report saying the suspect in the bombing scheme - Assad Sarwar, 26, used eBay regularly to trade items to terrorist fundraising.

ABC News also said that Sarwar bought 20 liters of "hydrogen peroxide", a raw material for homemade explosives, on the Internet to serve as a bombing scheme.

British police arrested dozens of suspects in a search in August 2006 to find a mastermind to use liquid explosives in a plot to bomb an airship.
