Banks end cash-delivery option used by Somalis

Terror Free Somalia Foundation Thanks To Huntington Bank and National City Corp for cutting off funding for terrorist groups.. Cooperation Key To Stopping Money Laundering.. Financial institutions are the "front line" of defense against these types of criminal activity, that cooperation with law enforcement is needed to follow money involved in illegal activity.
After the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the federal government made banks liable for monitoring their customers with legislation aimed at cutting off funding for terrorist groups.
