terrorist fundraising methods

Terrorist groups raise funds through various methods, including soliciting donations from sympathizers, both online and offline. They exploit legitimate businesses, such as charities or money services, to transfer money covertly. They may engage in illegal activities like drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, or smuggling goods to generate income. Online, they use social media, encrypted messaging, and fundraising platforms to solicit funds discreetly. Some also exploit diaspora networks, leveraging community ties. These varied tactics help sustain their operations while attempting to evade detection by authorities.
