Contributing Experts Steven Emerson & Dennis Lormel to Testify on Terrorist Financing - List of This Week's Open Congressional Hearings

By Andrew Cochran

Steven Emerson and Dennis Lormel will testify this Wednesday before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee on money laundering and terror financing issues in the Middle East. Senior officials from the U.S. Treasury and State Departments and an expert on Islamic finance will also testify. Coming so soon after the London attacks, and considering that Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Shelby was in London during the attacks, this promises to be an interesting hearing. I'll post the webcast link in the "Media" box in the left sidebar. Here is the list of other open terrorism-related hearings in the U.S. Congress this week (downloadable Word file). Additionally, the House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence have announced that they will receive closed-door briefings from the intel community on the London attacks this week.
