Explain the link that the PIJ has to the United States

What will be an ideal response?


The group has strong links to the United States. In 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice (2003) took actions against the PIJ in Florida. The Justice Department argued that the group had an organized network of financial supporters around the world, including in
the United States, and it brought charges against a professor at the University of South Florida for supporting the PIJ as part of that network. Another government report (U.S. Navy, 2008) cites multiple financial structures as another source of strength. Its presence in a multitude of countries leads to a number of funding sources. These funds have allowed the PIJ to remain in the field and to join Hamas in intermittent rocket attacks against Israel. Many analysts believe that the majority of funding comes from Iran and that the group is still shielded by Syria. They also believe that Hezbollah provides most of the training.
