From the Abu Sayaff to the Al Qaeda, ransoms that ran up to hundreds of millions of dollars are financing bigger and better terrorism activities. In the Philippines, authorities once seized terrorist speedboats that could outrun any of the Philippine Coast Guards vessels. In Mali, a former US diplomat claims that $15 million in ransom paid by France finances Al Qaeda's current activity. The terror group became so powerful that it took the intervention of France and neighboring countries to save the country from getting overrun. Don't pay ransoms-- NEVER!
