FINANCING TERROR

An unprecedented weapon: money

Synopsis

In the aftermath of 9/11, an unprecedented weapon has been used to “starve terrorism”: financial warfare.

Initial successes were followed by setbacks with the insurrection in Iraq and the fiasco of the Syrian war, rooted in inconsistent foreign policies. Some states are financing terrorism while others face tough choices between political and economic pressure.

Treasons, shaky alliances, lies by omission… In this fight, no holds are barred.
