| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan's opium economy has been called the most serious problem facing the country today. The Taliban and other insurgent groups stand to make at least USD 100 million from the tax imposed on farmers in exchange for protecting the poppy fields. An additional USD 400 million is divided among others for their processing and transportation capabilities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan is under siege from within. The earlier defective policy of the West has brought the Afghan and Pakistan Taliban into closer alliance and strenthened the links between the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Punjabi terrorist groups. Neither civil society nor political parties in Pakistan have the ability, or will, to take on the radicals.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with financing of Islamist terror in Bangladesh, which on occasions becomes jihadi in nature, especially when it is directed towards India. The exercise undertaken studies developments in the area of terrorist finance in Bangladesh post-9/11, but does not claim to fully estimate the volume of terror financing in that country. The attempt has been made to throw some light on an area where little research has been done. The article argues that the Government of Bangladesh has shown a half-hearted approach towards checking the finance of terrorism. Attempts to obfuscate the issue, together with a lack of adequate machinery and competent staff, has made the existing law ineffective.
