Drug users could unwittingly fund terror

Drug users could be unwittingly funding terrorism, with the Australian Crime Commission finding links between drug gangs and terrorist organisations.

Organised criminal syndicates are laundering money through terror groups, who take a cut of profits from Australia's lucrative drug trade, according to ACC chief executive Chris Dawson.

The ACC's Organised Crime in Australia 2015 report, released on Wednesday, reveals its efforts will be directed at the "evolving challenges posed by the nexus between organised crime and terrorism over the next two years".
