		Terrorists in these organizations remain accountable for their past crimes and will continue to be subject to all other relevant U.S. laws, regulations, and statutes.

		Terrorists employ a wide range of terrorist financing mechanisms, both to raise and move money, and the means used by particular terrorist organizations vary from group to group.
