ABSTRACT
The attention given to the financing of terrorism has intensified since the attacks on September 11, 2001 for two reasons. First, international terrorism outruns local neighbourhoods both for recruits and targets and so garners its resources through dispersed and sophisticated channels. The second reason is that the impact of jihadi terrorism on 9/11 and thereafter has energized international condemnation and the universal demand for action, in contrast to earlier times when international endorsement of counter-terrorism measures was often lukewarm and hobbled by political support for national liberationist and anti-imperialist movements.
