Abu Sayyaf may be getting cash from OFWs, US warns
MANILA, Philippines - The terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) may obtain financial assistance to overseas Filipino workers (TPE) that support their cause, the U.S. State Department said in its latest country report on terrorism issued Thursday (Friday in Manila).
"Country Reports on Terrorism 2010" The State Department said apart from kidnapping and extortion, the Abu Sayyaf could receive money from external sources such as remittances from OFWs and the Middle East based on extremists.
"The ASG also receives funding from regional terrorist groups such as Jemaah Islamiya (JI), which co-operatives have provided training to ASG members and has facilitated several ASG terrorist attacks," he says.
"In October 2007, the ASG appeal for funds and recruits on a YouTube video featuring Janjalani brothers before they were killed," he added.
U.S. security officials have attempted to identify and cut off foreign funding for the GSA, according to a secret telegram from the U.S. Embassy in Brazil.
The main targets are possible foreign bank accounts of leaders of Abu Sayyaf, according to the wire on Thursday released last week by Wikileaks.
According to the U.S. State Department, the Philippine government is going after terrorist financing through a law amending the AML law to criminalize terrorist financing as a separate offense.
The country is a member of the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering and the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs).
However, Washington said that the Philippines FIU must first obtain a court order to freeze the assets, including those of terrorists and terrorist organizations placed on the Committee's consolidated list of sanctions the UN 1267 and lists of governments foreigners.
"This requirement is inconsistent with the international standard, which calls for preventive freezing of terrorist assets" without delay "at the time of designation," the U.S. report on terrorism said.
