Terror cells clone cash machine cards

[Esslinger]

Al-Qaeda is using cashcard fraud to steal thousands of pounds from bank accounts in Britain and the rest of Europe to fund its activities across the world.

Jean-Louis Brugière, France’s top anti-terrorism judge, said radical Islamic cells in Europe were using sophisticated equipment to "clone" the card details of cash machine users.

He said the terrorists were then creating fake cards and using them to withdraw hundreds of thousands of pounds and euros a month.

"These are cards that I call clones," he said. "They are very difficult to catch."
