Fitton-Brown, now an adviser to the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project, said that even if there are disagreements over the extent to which al-Qaida or IS-Khorasan have grown their footprints in Afghanistan, the larger point remains."

"Some analysts believe that terrorist financing has flourished because South African authorities have become too comfortable with the absence of any visible Islamic activities in South Africa.
