One year after the events of 11th September 2001 in the United States, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) reaffirms its commitment to be a leader in the international fight against the financing of terrorism. Building on its efforts in the past year, the FATF will continue to take aggressive steps to prevent, detect and ultimately dry up the flow of funds to terrorists. "Countering the financing of terrorism is a top priority for the FATF", said the new FATF President Jochen Sanio, "and we are calling up on all countries around the world to join us in this effort".
