      "title": "Terrorist Financing: The U.S. and International Response",
      "summary": "The U.S.-led international campaign to deprive terrorists of funding has so far produced mixed\nresults. Though more than $120 million in terrorists' accounts reportedly has been blocked since\nSeptember 11, 2001, less than 20 percent of this total has been frozen in the past 11 months. The\nal Qaeda network increasingly is shifting to non-bank methods of moving and storing value and is\nrelying on a decentralized structure of largely self-financing cells; moreover, Middle Eastern donors\napparently continue to provide funds to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. In addition, the\ncampaign has aroused controversy on various political, religious and humanitarian grounds and is\nviewed in some quarters as broadly anti-Islamic. How the crackdown on terror finance should be\nprioritized and integrated with a comprehensive global struggle against terrorism thus becomes an\nissue of considerable significance for U.S. policymakers and for Congress.",
