Hawala is an informal money transfer system which operates below the financial systems radar. But it's not a terrorist activity only that the hawala route funds, but also the Naxal activities. Who is funding the Maoists and their expanding armed guerrilla movement?There is now speculation that a number of NGOs in Bihar are funding the training of Maoist guerrillas. Twenty-two NGOs in Gaya district have been issued a show-cause notice for their Maoist links. [link]
CNN-IBN also ran "investigative" reports that conclude it is easy to send large sums of money abroad using Hawala rackets, without any official documentation. POTA anyone?

One of these NGOs, who finance these Maoist terrorists is, Sandeep Pandey's. I have read many news reports about their financial irregularities.
They claim they are funded by NRIs in US ( see Rajeev Srinivasan's blog for more shady details on Sandeep Pandeys NGOs - AID and Asha)
