What is Financial Intelligence? Many different examples: Records of large cash deposits Cross-border currency reports Large cash purchases Casino reports Suspicious Transaction Reports

Purpose of Financial Intelligence Gives investigators a paper-trail Key tool in the War on Narcotics Useful in other predicate offenses for money laundering Money laundering is the inverse partner of terrorist finance

Osama bin Laden: Attempts to find and freeze assets will not make any difference to al-Qaida or other jihad groups. Al-Qaida is comprised of modern, educated young people who are as aware of the cracks in the western financial system as they are of the lines in their own hands. These are the very flaws in western financial system which is becoming a noose for it.
