Abstract

Since the disastrous terror activities in the United States on September 11, 2001, international – and especially Islamic – terror organisations have gained great attention all over the world. This chapter provides some empirical results about the financial flows of international (mainly Islamic) terrorist groups. It investigates an Islamic terrorist organisation. The chapter attempts to estimate the amount of financial flows and analyse the ways international terror organisations are financed. The methods the international terror organisations use to move money from the regions that finance them to their target countries are often identical to those used by criminal gangs. Only with source interaction and the creation of new international organisations and task forces will it be possible to overcome the threat and challenge of Islamic and other international terror organisations without giving up key elements of our democracy.
