GIA

"... and a GIA-linked Brussels mosque."

Unless "GIA" is a typo of "AIG," it needs to be decoded prior to its use. ☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 11:15, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whose cash?

" and thousands in cash." Would that be thousands of Belgian francs (worth about 0.0250€) or French francs (worth about 0.15€)? ☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The source states the number in US dollars (over ten thousand). And to the above, GIA is the proper acronym, which is used universally in English after it's French name. User2534 (talk) 09:25, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
