A Study Of U.S.A Financial Counter-terrorism:The Strategy And Mechanism Anti "Islamic State"

After the leader of Al-Qaida,Osama bin Laden,was killed,terrorist organizations represented by “Islamic State” created new threats to human society.How to fight the "Islamic State" has become a major concern to the international community.In the anti-terrorism operation against the “Islamic State”,the United States did not use its traditional ground-based armed forces to conduct direct military operations.Instead,it launched financial counter-terrorism around the goal of cutting off the “Islamic State” capital chain.Therefore,this article studies the following questions: Why does the United States have to carry out financial anti-terrorism against the "Islamic State" ? What are the strategies adopted by the United States for the "Islamic State" financial anti-terrorism? What mechanism does the U.S.financial anti-terrorism rely on? What has been achieved by the United States against the "Islamic State" of financial anti-terrorism?The United States' anti-terrorism campaign against the “Islamic State” is influenced by various factors such as cost expectations and interest-related factors,which can be summed up in the main and objective reasons.Subjectively,the United States needs to use appropriate means to crack down on the “Islamic State” in order to maintain its influence in the Middle East.Objectively,it is influenced by factors such as domestic anti-war public opinion,national security policy adjustments,and war cost expectations.After analyzing the US National Security Strategy Report 2011-2016,the US Anti-terrorism Report 2013-2017,and the U.S.Treasury Department Document analysis,this study found that the United States has a consistent and continuous factor in the anti-terrorism practice of the “Islamic State”..The United States has used anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing,freezing terrorist funds and airstrikes against Islamic State's economic facilities and other financial counter-terrorism tactics,and has used a diversified mechanism to crack down on the “Islamic State”.Finally,through research,it was found that the US's financial anti-terrorism tactics and mechanisms for the “Islamic State” were relatively perfect,which had a positive impact on curbing the financing and circulation of “Islamic State” and promoted the process in which “Islamic State” was eventually “annihilated”.However,there are still some problems that need to be improved.For example: Today,as the cost of terrorist attacks is becoming increasingly cheaper,their financial counter-terrorism strategies can hardly track the flow of small amounts of terrorist funds.
