London Airplane Bomb Plotters Used eBay to Raise Funds

Richard Esposito reports on ABC News' "The Blotter":

The British terror cell that allegedly plotted to blow up flights from London to the U.S. helped finance the operation by buying and selling items on eBay, according to an intelligence report obtained by ABC News.

The intelligence update said suspect Assad Sarwar, 26, "used eBay extensively" to raise funds for the plot. "It is believed they would sell and purchase items to make a profit to fund [the] plot." There were no further details in the report. A spokesperson for eBay had no immediate comment.
