There is a very strong link between drugs and terrorists. If only more casual pot smokers realised where their money went.

HARBORING HASHISH
Morocco Does Little to Weed Out a Drug That Brings in $3-Billion a Year
KETAMA, Morocco -- High in the Rif Mountains, a work crew busily repairs a roadside water main. Around the bend, another group of men just as busily diverts water from the main to irrigate an illegal but healthy stand of plants. Here, within full view of a mosque, several houses and the occasional passing cop, the men are growing cannabis sativa. Or, as it is more commonly known, marijuana.
Morocco ranks among the world's largest producers of marijuana, much of which is processed into a potent substance called hashish and smuggled into Europe. So much Moroccan hashish is exported -- 1,500 tons a year -- that the country gets most of its hard currency from the illegal hash trade.

Police 'identify' Madrid bombers
The hunt for clues goes on
Spanish police are reported to have identified six Moroccans who they believe carried out the Madrid bomb attacks that killed 200 people.
Five of the suspects are still at large but one is in custody, the Spanish newspaper El Pais quotes security sources as saying.
The man, named as Jamal Zougam, is reported to have been recognised by people who survived Thursday's blasts.
Mr Zougam was arrested on Saturday with two other Moroccans and two Indians
