In this policy paper, Michael Jacobson, a senior
fellow in The Washington Institute's Stein Program on Terrorism,
Intelligence, and Policy, says that despite new British initiatives to
combat terrorist financing following the July 2005 terrorist subway and
bus attacks in London and the disrupted terrorist plot to blow up
U.S.-bound planes flying from Heathrow airport in August 2006, the
efforts of the European Union (EU) to do the same lack consistency and
effect. He says bureaucratic obstacles limit European efforts to
designate terrorist entities and freeze their assets.
