Summary/Abstract: The twentieth century brought the world's most horrific facts of history through two world wars1. The consequences of two world wars have turned the onset of the XXI century in an enemy of modern society, democracy and progress, a recrudescent danger or even an “invisible” enemy.States faced with asymmetric threats since ancient times but in the present century they became a global risk factor. After the events on September 11 2001, the world woke up to reality, experiencing new forms and action processes specific to terrorism, being forced to re-evaluate this risk and to change their vision of global safety.Terrorism is an asymmetrical, unconventional conflict, which by its anarchic, adaptable and diffuse nature is extremely difficult to identify, manage and countered. But a weak point could be found and must be exploited to the maximum in order to destroy this plague of the modern world. This vulnerability is represented by the sources of financing the terrorism.In this paper we intend to present some coordinates of the funding sources most frequently used by terrorist organizations around the globe.
