New signals about manifestations of radical Islam in 15 Bulgarian municipalities were submitted Thursday to the State Agency for National Security (DANS).

The Islamic activities were uncovered by the independent Members of Parliament (MPs) Yane Yanev, and Dimitar Abazheiv. Yanev, who is the leader of the "Order, Law and Justice" party announced the news upon conclusion of his Thursday meeting with the DANS Director, Petko Sertov.

Yanev told Sertov that there are several channels funneling Saudi Arabian and Egyptian money in Bulgaria, slated to support Islamic fundamentalism under the form of illegal schools, extra-curricular activities, bribery of the local Muslim population and even to force Bulgarian Muslims to adhere to radical Islamic practices.

Magazines glorifying the Muslim religion, including comments about the September 11 terrorists attacks in New York, were among the materials submitted by Yanev to DANS.

Other topics discussed at the meeting included the global financial crisis, the violations at the National Revenue Agency, the Finance Ministry and the Customs Agency.

Yanev further announced that DANS has created an economic team to deal with the numerous cases of draining of State and European funds, committed as "white collar" crime.
