A new report reveals a change in the methods used to finance terrorist operations. Instead of the traditional top down approach, recent research indicates the emergence of a parallel fund raising stream through crimes being committed by local cells to help finance the mother organization. For the top down approach, the study identifies Saudi Arabian donors as the chief financiers of Al-Qa'ida linked groups and Iran as the chief financier of Hezbollah, Hamas and others. For the bottom up approach the manuscript cites multi-million euro robberies. It is a timely reminder that targeting terrorist finance operations can contribute to great results.
