India's Looted Past And Terrorism Funding
2018-08-19
[Jpost] The world has focused on the connection between cultural racketeering and terrorist financing with ISIS (Islamic State), but this risk extends far beyond Iraq and Syria."

The illegal antiquities trade in Iraq and Syria is booming, with the black market for looted artifacts generating millions of dollars for crime and terrorism. But the trade is generating big business in another, perhaps unexpected, location: India.

According to experts, the problem remains mostly undocumented for several reasons, including lax laws both within India and internationally, as well as the failure by world heritage bodies and governments to adequately address the issue.
