Behind The Terror: The Role Of Organized Crime

Investigative journalist David Kaplan says that terrorists often use organized crime tactics — and profits — to execute their activities. He discusses the link between terrorism and criminal syndicates, and how that relationship may have played out in the recent attacks on Mumbai.

Kaplan is the editorial director for the Center for Public Integrity. Throughout his 30-year career, he has investigated various criminal groups, including terrorists, corporate polluters, corrupt law enforcement officials and neo-Nazis.
