The New York Daily News is reporting that Brooklyn bookkeeper Sabirhan Hasanoff was recently arrested in Dubai for providing material support to al-Qaeda. The Assistant U.S. Attorney handling the case stated that Hasanoff was providing money and Casio watches to the terror group and even attempted to join the group’s Iraqi branch. It’s important to note the specific mention of Casio brand watches. Because of the electronic capabilities of these watches they are highly sought after for use as a timer and initiator for an improvised explosive device. ABC News was given access to some seized material in 2008 that shows how these watches are used as a bomb component.
