Summary/Abstract: Not very large sums of money are necessary to launch terrorist attacks, and the associated transactions are not so complex. For example, the author writes, an examination of the financial connections of the air attacks on 11 September has led to the conclusion that most of the individual transactions included small sums of money, below the limit of reporting cash transactions, and the operations were aimed at Swift transactions only. The beneficiaries were foreign students who received money from their parents or under the form of grants for studies, so the transactions were not identified as requiring further examination by the involved financial institutions.
