The picture that has emerged from the November 26-29th terrorist attacks on Mumbai indicates that there was an extensive support network in place. In regard to broad terrorist support infrastructure, the Mumbai cell represents barely a spec in the wider universe of Jihadist organizational capabilities.

A serious barrier for creating a hostile global counterterrorist financing environment is international cooperation. The support for the current terrorism sanctions regime that surged in the wake of the 9/11 is in steep decline in some parts of the globe. One cause for this waning support stems from a failure to
appreciate the larger context of the changing nature of war.

Seven years since al-Qaida’s iconic attacks on American landmarks in New York and Washington DC, the international financial community continues to struggle with its role to effectively combat the financing of terrorism (CFT).
5 September 2008
A crucial part of the fight against al-Qaida and its new face, the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), will be won on the financial front. Identifying revenue sources for this movement can help governments, financial institutions and other businesses degrade the TTP’s political influence and capacity for conducting attacks regionally and further afield in Europe and the United States.

Countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) is an especially challenging area of most compliance programs. A major shortfall of many compliance programs is that CFT tends to be too closely wedded to anti-money laundering (AML) in the respect that AML concepts and tools are applied to CFT problems as if the two challenges were the same. It is this author’s view that the two realms differ enough that each area should be segregated and remain distinct.

External state support for terrorist and insurgent groups has become increasingly limited, causing these illicit actors to adopt a dizzying array of funding strategies. Among these, new payment systems including prepaid cards, mobile banking and e-currencies have emerged as a particularly worrisome domain that terrorists can exploit to fund their support infrastructures and organizations. This paper addresses the terrorist financing risks associated with prepaid cards.
10 June 2008
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.
13 May 2008
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.
