Terrorist Groups and Organized Crime: Is There a Connection?

              Terrorism has become one of the greatest threats to the modern world. It has effected the internal security of not only individual states, but even more so on an international level. However, another dangerous phenomenon has threatened global securityâorganized crime [1].

At first site, organized crime groups and terrorist organizations have many differences behind their criminal offenses. Organized crime groups like to keep a low profile to avoid attention, while terrorist organizations eventually want the attention. Organized crime groups work solely for profit, while terrorists work to support their ideologies. While organized crime doesnât let principles get in way of their groups financial gain, terrorists justify their actions through political or religious belief [2]. Terrorists and organized crime groups are not one and the same. Terrorism and organized crimeâs main link is finance.

              Terrorism is not cheap by any means. Terrorists raise funds to support the activities of their organization. With the advancement of technology, one way in which these groups, including Al Qaeda; Laskhar e-Taiba, and Chechen mujahidin, the internet has been used as a tool for raising and transferring funds [3]. Younis Tsouliâworking for Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI)âalong with his partner, Tariq al-Daourâacquired stolen credit card numbers to raise money to pay for online recruitment websites. The pair was arrested, but not before stealing 37,000 cred card numbers and accumulating more than $3.5 million in charges [3].

International terrorist financing benefits from money launderings from organized crime. Money laundering is the conversion of illegally obtained, or âdirtyâ money, into money that appears to be legally obtained. [4]. Tsouli used the stole credit card numbers to compete multiple transactions, hundreds a day at 43 different online gambling sites. He would transfer any winnings to bank accounts established for this specific purpose. This way, the funds would appear to be legitimately won. The stolen credit card numbers also finance equipment [3].

              Virtually all forms of organized crime are used in the financing of terrorism. Fraud, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, human trafficking, and drug trafficking are just a few examples of criminal activity within terrorist groups [1]. Not all organized crime is connected to terrorist activity, but terrorist groups commit organized crime.
