Financing of terrorism

Terrorists need money to carry out their activities, like buying weapons, paying for transportation and other things. Financing of terrorism is the process of giving money to terrorists to help them carry out their plans. People and organizations can finance terrorism by donating money, transferring funds to terrorists, or buying things for them that are used for terrorism. Financing of terrorism is illegal because it helps terrorists carry out attacks that hurt innocent people.
