'Where did much(prenominal) a wide sum of m star(a)y arise from, and where did it go? As to the outgo \nof the monies, the capital were utilized for the en inclination of the personnel, the bringing up for the \n threatists to move the hijacked aircraft, acid expenditures, communications and opposite \nexpenses. The rural araal berth of investigation reason that the radix dread theme had \nan operate compute estimated at $ 30 to $ 50 one thousand million in 2001.
