The man, using the false Samir Bouzid identification card at a Western Union outlet in the Brussels area, wired 750 euros ($807) to Hasna Ait Boulahcen on November 17, the Belgian prosecutor's office said. Both of the publicized suspects -- the men going by the names of Kayal and Bouzid -- were at the store from which the money was sent.

Time to stop the stupid rumor that BTC is used by the bad guys. They're using WU.

terrorsts use both bitcoin and wastern union

Yup they wanna make sure their transaction with hiding from the government’s face I am sure they would have pick bitcoin or any other digital currencies only. Because government officials will not able to identify easily until they know. They were using largely in smuggling and buying weapons and other stuffs. I think they are using it to make them secure and convenient to transfer money
