Summary/Abstract: The international organized crime networks practice smuggling (weapons, ammunition, nuclear heads and substances, precious metals, etc.), extortion, illegal migration, tax fraud, illegal gambling, kidnapping, blackmail, goods counterfeit, corruption and even murder in order to maximize their profits. These networks are interested in getting as much as possible profit for themselves, while the international terrorist groups are involved in violent public attacks (mainly explosions, with many human casualties, as well as airplane hijacking, hostages, etc.) for political, ethnic and religious reasons. The international terrorist financing is the main link between organized crime, money laundering and international terrorism. Once this link annihilated, international terrorism will remain without its strongest financial support and thus it will be much easier eradicated.
