#1 A UK police official said, Hawaladars (Hawala operators) in the UK are said to be forming a hawala triangle with Dubai and Middle East (West Asia) to India and Pakistan for significant international money-laundering activities that finance terrorist activities in the subcontinent.

An official of the UK-based Serious Organised Crime Agency said while Hawala is used by millions of immigrants as a legitimate form of remittance transfer, the system is being increasingly manipulated by organised crime and, in smaller volumes, by international terrorists. The agency has identified some dedicated money-laundering controllers who use the Hawala system to finance terror operations in South Asia. David Armond, head of SOCAs proceeds of crime unit, said organised crimes, including terrorism, uses money-laundering methods to finance terror activities and we have asked people to report any such suspicious activities to crack down on such operators.

The hawala network represents one of the main conduits for both zakat and terrorist financial exchanges. We need our domestic treasury agents to recruit Middle Eastern operatives who can penetrate this critical link in terrorist funding.

Or just keep killing hawaladars until they give up on the idea. Probably cheaper, certainly more effective.
