American Businessman is Caught Funding the Real IRA

One of the most shameful things about the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland is that many Americans have been aiding the Sinn Fein/IRA terrorists. Now we hear that Roman Vidal, an American businessman, has been funding the Real IRA by arranging a cigarette smuggling ring for them:

An American businessman has been accused of funding the Real IRA by masterminding a cigarette smuggling ring that has netted them hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The case highlights the criminal activities which underpin the funding of terrorism in Northern Ireland.
Roman Vidal, 57, arranged for shipments of millions of cigarettes from Panama to Dublin where they were collected by contacts linked to the terror group.
The Real IRA has claimed responsibility for the murder of two British soldiers in Antrim on Saturday.

Vidal is accused of sending two massive shipments of cigarettes to Ireland which were sold on the 'black market' at a fraction of the cost of other cigarettes.
U.S. customs agents told a Miami court they were able to trace the shipments, hidden under wood flooring and insulation material, to gangs linked to the Real IRA.

Officials calculate the criminals avoided paying over £1.5million in taxes on the first shipment alone.
Special agent Robert Manzanares said: 'During the course of the investigation, evidence has indicated that some of these associates were connected to the group the Real IRA.'

Since this Vidal scumbag has been bankrolling terrorists, we should treat him to luxury accomodations at the Guantanamo Hilton..... oh, but His Holiness wants to close down the place.
