Follow the Money: Challenges and Opportunities in the Campaign to Combat Terrorism Financing
Matthew Levitt
March 2007
Abstract
The U.S. government's much-discussed but little-understood effort to combat terrorism financing faces both challenges and opportunities. Terrorist groups continue to evolve, proactively working to evade existing sanctions and minimize the impact of future ones. Meanwhile, interagency efforts are being called upon to meet some of the most pressing national security threats through targeted financial measures.
