Description

Terrorism and organised violence are crucially reliant on adequate sources of funding. Blocking those sources has thus become a key goal of national security services in most countries through the world. Terror Disrupted is the first book to provide an insider's account of how national security services have worked to understand how terrorist groups and organisations are financed and what the best ways are to block such financing. It goes beyond banks to examine the private sector and cryptocurrency forensic firms who are on the front lines of countering terrorist access to new forms of value, like cryptocurrency. Investigating the ways the US and other governments have struggled to tackle the financing of terrorism by the radical right, it describes the various ways in which governments and the private sector can counter terrorist access to finance and fight the financing of groups like ISIS and al-Qa'ida.
