Articles
In January, we analyzed several key developments shaping global security and financial intelligence. We examined the rising trend of terrorism charges in Canada, shedding light on what this signals about the broader threat landscape. Our coverage also analyzed terrorist financing through Tether, exploring the role of cryptocurrencies and private partnerships in counterterrorist financing.
We provided a deep dive into the financial profile of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, tracing its evolution from militancy to governance. Additionally, we broke down the financial activity behind the New Orleans truck attack, offering insights into how illicit funds support extremist activities. Finally, we investigated a PKK-affiliated non-profit in Canada, questioning whether it operates as a legitimate charity or a financial cover.
