Washington, March 19 -- US federal authorities are launching a joint effort to investigate non-profit organisations over suspected links to domestic terrorism, according to sources familiar with the plan, marking a significant expansion of financial scrutiny in counter-extremism efforts.
The initiative brings together the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation division (IRS-CI), with IRS agents set to be embedded within an FBI-led "mission control" centre.
The unit will focus specifically on financial networks tied to alleged extremist activity, reflecting a strategy that prioritises tracking money flows alongside traditional law enforcement methods, reports CBS News.
