Disrupting the financing of terrorist activities and organizations and breaking up the networks that provide such financing is immensely important in the overall fight against terrorism and an effort to maintain international and national security (Anderson, 2008). The extensive list of financing mechanisms given in Appendix B of the document makes it clear that terrorist organizations are adept at finding and exploiting weaknesses in international security and in developing complex systems to achieve their ends, including the taking in of finances (Anderson, 2008). A disruption of terrorist organizations' financing activities not only directly inhibits their ability to carry out terrorist actions but also disrupts the support networks these organizations form in other ways, hurting their image and the degree of popular...
In this way, disrupting a terrorist organization's ability to generate financing is creating a host of vulnerabilities for such an organization that would not otherwise exist, drastically weakening them in the short- and long-terms.
Terrorist groups also depend on a certain amount of secrecy, and this creates many opportunities to disrupt their financial activities. Trying to remain hidden while taking in millions of dollars is difficult, and simple exposure can be enough to disrupt certain funding lines (Anderson, 2008). Exploiting terrorist organizations' weaknesses by disrupting their financing activities makes it very difficult for these organizations to generate further income, leading to an ever shrinking supply of…

Disrupting America's economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists Even as the world continues to struggle with the terrible shock from the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, one principle lesson has already become clear: disrupting our economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists. Prior to September 11, our economic environment was certainly not immune to terror, in comparison to many other nations; we lived relatively terror-free. Now,
REAL DO YOU THINK THE TERRORIST THREAT IS TO THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR? With the current wave of terrorist's activities and attacks, terrorists' threat is incredibly real to the commercial sector. Since 2008, terrorists target commercial organizations such as hotel that accommodate huge numbers of people. For instance, in 2009, terrorists bombed the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia leaving 9 people dead and 42 injured. While terrorism has

The importance of this topic lies in its relevance to contemporary global security

Enormous amounts of money have been spent on recruitment, training camps, purchasing weapons, training on weapons, creating unconventional weapons, gathering intelligence, promoting Islamist propaganda and other activities (Ehrenfeld, 2003). The Last Five Years One of the things that the
Government Since gang-related crimes fall within the jurisdiction of state, this research will give an insight on the need to find solutions that increasingly include all levels of government. Congress needs to pass legislation that will change immigration enforcement laws and make more aliens deportable. In addition, the federal government should take a more active participation in helping local and state jurisdictions develop anti-gang responses. The local, state and federal governments
Islamic Fascism Following a series of terrorist attacks against the United States which culminated in the attacks of September 11th, 2011, the most pressing terrorist threat facing the country is that posed by Islamic Fascism, because it represents a diffuse, dedicated, and ongoing effort to attack the United States as frequently and destructively as possible, whether domestically or abroad. As a result, the United States government has dedicated substantial time and
