Joseph Power’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a Brisbane-based writer and a journalism/international relations student at the University of Queensland. I've been featured on The Commentator, Digital Journal, The Australian Atheist, and The Comment Factory among others. My interests, aside from reading and writing (and avoiding autobiography), boil down to whisky or a good Manhattan.

Terrorist organisations need money to carry out their activities. Jessica Davis uncovers the many ways terrorist organisations procure and protect the funds which finance their operations. On 14 May 2010, a student named Roshonara Choudhry walked up the Labour MP for East Ham, Stephen Timms, smiled at him, moved as if to shake his hand, then plunged  into his stomach.
