ABSTRACT
Terrorism is a general threat to humankind. In spite of occasional decline in the number of incidents in some societies, fresh and supplementary varieties of terrorism also develop. Accompanying this comprehensive and far-reaching peril, ominous links between terrorist and crime groupings come to light. In the words of Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former U.N. Secretary General and professor of international law , we are confronted by "crime multinationals".1 The "business" of crime accounted for U.S. $1,000 billion a year, twice the size of the global oil dealings, and 4% of the international economy.2
