Abstract

Policy programs on anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) can only be successful if one has detailed knowledge about the financial means of terrorism. In this survey chapter, I analyze the extent of terrorist financing and discuss the legal as well as illegal origins of their financial sources. I also show the costs of terrorist attacks and the similarities as well as dissimilarities between terrorist and criminal organizations.
