 <title>Terrorist Financing: U.S. Agencies Should Systematically Assess Terrorists&apos; Use of Alternative Financing Mechanisms</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Cutting off terrorists&apos; funding is essential to deterring
terrorist operations. The USA PATRIOT Act expanded the ability of
law enforcement and intelligence agencies to access and share	 
financial information regarding terrorist investigations, but	 
terrorists may have adjusted their activities by increasing use  
of alternative financing mechanisms. GAO was asked to assess (1) 
the nature of terrorists&apos; use of key alternative financing	 
mechanisms for earning, moving, and storing terrorists&apos; assets;  
(2) what is known about the extent of terrorists&apos; use of	 
alternative financing mechanisms; and (3) challenges that the	 
U.S. government faces in monitoring terrorists&apos; use of		 
alternative financing mechanisms.</abstract>
