Dawood Ibrahim runs two factories in Pakistan which churn out pirated CDs and DVDs, the proceeds of which are used to fund al Qaeda-linked terrorist organisations like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (via ChapatiMystery).

Ibrahim has found common cause with Al Qaeda, sharing his smuggling routes with the terrorist network and funding attacks by Islamic extremists aimed at destabilizing the Indian government, according to the State Department. [Reuters]
