		Charity organisations mixed up with terrorism fall into two groups--- those specifically founded by terrorist groups through surrogates for using them as front organisations for funding terrorism; and those founded by others for genuine charitable purposes, but manipulated and used by terrorist organisations for their own purposes.

		Caught entirely by surprise by the scope and depth of JI - which organised, trained and recruited across national boundaries undisturbed for over a decade before launching its first attacks - regional security and intelligence services, very much constrained by national boundaries, have joined the battle late in the day.
