Financing of terrorism is the collection or provision of funds for the purpose of enhancing the ability of an entity or anyone who is involved in terrorism or related activities to commit a terrorist act. Funds may be raised from legitimate sources, such as personal donations and profits from businesses and charitable organisations, as well as from criminal sources, such as the drug trade, the smuggling of weapons and other goods, fraud, kidnapping and extortion.
