Concluding its research into stopping the financing of terrorism, the bipartisan Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing of the U.S. House of Representatives’s Financial Services Committee has released a report of its findings. Stopping Terror Finance: Securing the U.S. Financial Sector, is the product of 11 hearing over two six-month periods, beginning in April 2015.
The report notes that terrorists obtain some of their funding through charitable organizations, but explains that usually this is carried out through sham charities, rather than any charitable organization recognized by the U.S. government.
