Answer 1

There are various sized terrorist organisation whose management and financing depends on size and location while management is mostly authoritarion.

Large size organisation like ISIS and taliban are large one and they have varied source of financing. They try to capure some productive areas and control the revenue generating business or economic activities. While in some small sized outfits money laundering and charitable donation through emotional appeal constitute a bigger share of fund.

These affects the strategy to counter terrorism. FATF, financial action task force takes into account the financing and devise strategy to block the finances that will reduce the trust within the organisation and leadership that will fail the organisation as a whole.
