Flow through Muslims living in the U.S. via U.S. dollars flow to fund jihad.
Some
of Africa’s most notorious jihad groups, such as Boko Haram and
al-Shabaab, are benefiting from an elaborate, international funding
network, including large sums of money flowing from the United States.
MoneyJihad.com founder, Terror Finance Blog analyst and writer A. D. Kendall says Somalis residing in the United States, for example, are a major source of al-Shabaab’s financing.
“First
and foremost, the Somalis contribute through remittances and hawala.
Somalis wire money home, which is often processed by Dahabshiil, a
business that routinely pays off al-Shabaab,” Kendall told WND.
“Dahabshiil’s involvement in financing terrorism is the reason why
Barclays attempted to end its business relationship with Dahabshiil.”
