Canadian Report: Extremism and Organized Crime Converge
A Canadian report warns of a growing problem: extremist groups and organized criminals are working together.
These groups, driven by different beliefs, use methods like donations and crime to get money.
Some of this money goes to groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.
The report also highlights 'lone wolf' attackers who use simple weapons.
Canada is responding by increasing surveillance and working with other countries to stop this convergence.
Report details convergence of extremism and organized crime in Canada.
Lone actor terrorist attacks using easily accessible weapons are a major threat.
Radicalization is fueled by xenophobia, anti-government sentiment, and online echo chambers.
