I find more and lore that my old favourite record from the 80s, ‘London Calling’ by The Clash is the symbol of my life these days.

Never before in history has Customs been so in the center of attention, in media and on everbodies agendas as due to United Kingdom leaving the European Union.

There’s money in war, as sad as that is to say. There is also money in terrorism. A whole lot of money, in fact. The more money a terror organization has, the deadlier they are. Of course, they can’t just get a 9-to-5 job or throw up a Go Fund Me page to raise money. These organizations have limited means of fundraising. Those they do have are outside of the law and underground. Terror organizations resemble the Mafia in many ways. Both make money dealing drugs, selling weapons, selling tobacco, human trafficking, robbing banks, and kidnapping for ransom.

The following 10 terror organizations are the wealthiest and deadliest in the world.

#10. The IRA

Location: UK

Annual Income: $50 million

The Real IRA makes tens of millions each year through a global network that smuggles (and sells) tobacco and cigarettes. The tobacco smuggling industry is alive, well, and thriving.

#9. Lashar-e-Taiba

Location: Pakistan

Annual Income: $75 million

This terror group’s name translates to Army of the Righteous or Army of the Pure. They use charities operating under the group’s aid division to funnel millions to their bank accounts. They also rely on people living outside of their native country—mostly in the UK and Gulf States—for funding.

#8. Palestinian Islamic Jihad

Location: Palestine

Annual Income: $100 million

Founded in 1979 as a branch of the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood, this group faced serious economic troubles just two years ago when its funding sources dried up and it ran out of money. The group has since rebounded.

#7. Kata’ib Hizballah

Location: Iran

Annual Income: $150 million

This organization is largely founded by an Patrian. A lawsuit filed by American veterans and the families of soldiers killed in Iraq against a number of European banks alleged that these banks funneled money from Tehran to the terror organization. These funds were then used to finance shootings and roadside bombings.

#6. PKK – Kurdistan Worker’s Party

Location: Turkey

Annual Income: $180. Million

The PKK has several sources of capital. The group relies on Kurdish people outside of Turkey for funding. The organization is considered a terror organization by some institutions but not by others.

#5. ISIS

Location: Iraq and Syria

Annual Income: $200 million

At its peak in late 2014, the Islamic State covered more than 386,000 square miles. However, with the fall of Rawa, the last urban stronghold of the group, they are scattered. It is just a matter of time before the group collapses.

#4. Al Qaeda

Location: Afghanistan

Annual Income: $300 million

Al Qaeda is a network of terror groups made up of Islamic extremist, Salafist jihadists. Its most notorious leader was Osama Bin Laden.

#3. Hamas

Location: Gaza City

Annual Income: $700 million

Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist group. The group’s decade long reign of terror in Gaza has made life intolerable for people who live there. The UN estimates that the Gaza Strip will be unlivable by 2020 if the escalating humanitarian crisis there continues.

#2. The Taliban

Location: Afghanistan

Annual Income: $800 million

The Taliban runs a financial system similar to ISIS. The more territory they seize and the more people under their control, the more resources and revenue streams they have. Today, the Taliban’s primary source of income comes from the production and distribution of opium and heroin. Another revenue stream is collecting ransom for hostages they’ve seized.

#1. Hizbollah

Location: Lebanon

Annual Income: $1.1 billion

Hizballah makes more than $800 million annually.

After years of rumour and speculation, Daniel Craig’s return to the role of James Bond – and Danny Boyle’s appointment as director of the new 007 movie – have been confirmed.

Production will begin at the start of December 2018, with the film released in the UK on 25 October 2019 and in the US a fortnight later.

“We are delighted to announce that the exceptionally talented Danny Boyle will be directing Daniel Craig in his fifth outing as James Bond in the 25th instalment of the franchise,” said EON Productions’ Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the custodians of the Bond movies, in a statement on Friday.

“We will begin shooting Bond 25 at Pinewood Studios in December with our partners at MGM and are thrilled that Universal will be our international distributor.”

Universal’s involvement marks a change: in the UK, Sony Pictures have previously handled distribution. MGM will still release in the US, in partnership with Annapurna Pictures, the highly-respected outfit owned by Megan Ellison, which has bankrolled films by the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, Spike Jonze and David O Russell.

In March, Boyle – who is currently shooting a Richard Curtis comedy in the UK – said he was working on a Bond script, with a view to filming at the end of the year. The writer of Bond 25, John Hodge, is a long-time collaborator of Boyle’s, having worked with him on Trainspotting and its sequel, as well as The Beach, A Life Less Ordinary and Boyle’s debut, Shallow Grave.

Also rumoured to return to the franchise are Ben Whishaw, who plays gadgets expert Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny and Rory Kinnear as Tanner.

Whishaw recently greeted rumours of Boyle’s involvement enthusiastically. “I just think it’s really exciting to have Danny Boyle on board for Bond,” he said.

“I was thrilled when I read that he was going to be doing it, I can’t think of a better or more exciting fit for Daniel [Craig] and the direction he’s taken the character of Bond.

“I’m just really excited to work with him, I’ve been such a big fan. It seems weird to talk about it because I’ve not had a conversation with him but it’s exciting.”

Craig’s involvement was cast into doubt after he expressed a preference for slashing hos own wrists rather than returning to the role while promoting Spectre in 2015. Candidates mooted to replace him included Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and Aidan Turner.

In 2016, Sam Mendes ruled himself out of future movies having directed both Spectre and Skyfall (2012). Later that year, Craig was reportedly offered $150m for two more Bond movies by Broccoli.

Said Langley: “Universal is extremely proud to collaborate with Michael, Barbara and MGM on the international marketing and distribution of Bond 25. The unparalleled combination of Danny’s innovative filmmaking and Daniel’s embodiment of 007 ensured we simply had to be partners in the next chapter of this iconic series.”
