"Terrorist acts in Britain, Spain and the Netherlands provide painful confirmation that Europe is both a base for and a target of terrorist cells. Less noticed, however, is the fact that Europe has also been exploited by terrorists as a haven for raising, moving and storing money. The United Nations Security Council�s recent passage of Resolution 1617, targeting the support networks of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, clears the way for vigorous action to cut off al-Qaeda�s lifelines in Europe and around the world."
