This report provides a primer on the confluence of transnational terrorist and criminal groups and
related activities abroad. It evaluates possible motivations and disincentives for cooperation
between terrorist and criminal organizations, variations in the scope of crime-terrorism links, and
the types of criminal activities—fundraising, material and logistics support, and exploitation of
corruption and gaps in the rule of law—used by terrorist organizations to sustain operations. This
report also discusses several international case studies to illustrate the range of crime-terrorism
convergence and non-convergence, including Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company; the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC); the 2004 Madrid bombers; the Taliban; Hezbollah; Al
Qaeda; the 2005 London bombers; Al-Shabaab; as well as known or alleged crime-terrorism
facilitators such as Viktor Bout, Monzer Al Kasser, and Abu Ghadiyah.
In 2004, Congress combined preexisting and newly created units to form the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) within the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). TFI’s mission is to integrate intelligence and enforcement functions to (1) safeguard the financial system against illicit use and (2) combat rogue nations, terrorist facilitators, and other national security threats.
GAO was asked to report on (1) the U.S. government strategy to collaborate with and assist the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to counter terrorism and terrorism financing, and (2) U.S. government agencies’ assessment of and the Saudi government’s views on progress toward the goals of this strategy. GAO analyzed relevant
U.S. and Saudi strategy, planning, and evaluation documents related to efforts since 2005, and discussed
these efforts with subject matter experts and U.S. and Saudi officials in Washington, D.C., and Riyadh
and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
