While the United Nations and others have recently warned that the financial war on terror was sputtering, analysts inside and outside government said the conclusions of the panel carry particular weight because it is bipartisan.

Financing for Osama bin Laden's terror network is often routed through charities, front companies and shell banks in offshore havens.
