Significant resources are deployed in the financial services industry in checking terrorist lists and managing filters on payments systems to comply with anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations. It is easy to criticise this international effort as bureaucratic and time-consuming but it is worthwhile considering how much this process has evolved.

The global financial community stands on the front lines in the war against terrorists and their support infrastructures. The post-9/11 efforts to desiccate terrorist revenue streams center on an international regulatory framework that has grown to reflect the intensified terrorist threat in the post-9/11 era. Compliance with official blacklists of designated terrorist individuals and entities has become the principal mechanism to combat terrorist financing.

The first Bali Bombing in October 2002 was a watershed event in the fight against terrorism in Southeast Asia.
The lethality of the attack and its location in the popular tourist island of Bali resulted in a massive crackdown on the organization responsible, Jemaa Islamiyah (JI). Last year’s arrest of JI leaders Abu Dujana and Zarkasih attest to the Indonesian police’s commitment to containing the terrorist threat.

Combating terror finance is often hailed as one of the true successes in the “war on terror.” But is it? Even after six years of following and freezing terrorists’ funds, American and European officials warn Al Qaeda still has both the capability and intent to conduct devastating attacks.
7 February 2008
As the 1980s Arab-Afghan Jihad against the Soviets helped to spawn the al-Qaida movement, so too has the post-9/11 fight against the al-Qaida-Taliban nexus in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s tribal regions accelerated the projection of Salafi Jihadist terrorism and political violence on a global scale. Jihadist violence emanating from this conflict zone has manifested itself not only in the Bhutto assassination and other attacks throughout the subcontinent, but also further afield in Western Europe where associated cells have intended to carry out widespread terrorist violence.
10 January 2008
Too often known terrorist movements are able to cloak their financial and logistical support structures in the shroud of legal and political legitimacy by capitalizing on a false distinction between the violent and ostensibly non-violent wings of their organizations. Many terrorist networks around the world exemplify this model and unfortunately achieve a modicum of legal and political legitimacy through their associated fronts in the West, where it happens that much of the world’s terrorist financing takes place.
