Salary Of A Terrorist, Alqaeda HuM

How much is  a Terrorist paid?

Despite all the jingoism about Jihad, Ideology, I believe that Economic conditions do play an important part.

Though there are well to do operatives in every terrorist outfit, higher percentage of Field Operatives, meaning who are prepared o die hail from a poor background.

Most of the Operatives of the Al Qaeda are from the poverty-stricken areas of Africa,Countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The decision makers are from , mostly, from the affluent sections of the Society.

In general the Terrorists are given free boarding and lodging facilities and Travel and operational expenses are provided by the terrorist outfits.

The organisation also takes care of the Operative’s Family, Children education and in cases of dire emergency pay up medical expenses.

These facilities are decided on a case to case to basis.

There are many terrorist out fits, Palestinians,Intifada,LTTE,IRA,Red Brigade,Baader Meinhof, Spanish terrorists and recently the Al Qaeda.

The Palestinian Authority recently disclosed that it pays $ 50, 00 to those jailed by Israel or by the other countries and a Lifetime pension of $1135 per month,this is calculated on the basis of the Operation they were involved and the number of years they spent in prison.

Hizb ul Mujahideen operatives are paid Rs 10,000 to 12,000 per month from 2011.(Boarding lodging free)

This is fivefold increase from 2001.

Since Al Qaeda funds its affiliates like HUM the salary structure varies depending on the country of operations.

It is safe to assume thy get not less than INR 15 to 20,000 excluding boarding and lodging ,Perks mentioned above.

While in other countries like those in Europe and The US, they might be paid anywhere from 5 t0 10, 000 Dollars a month.
