The United States' Drug Enforcement Administration is the lead agency in the organization. The co-deputy agencies are the United States Treasury and the United States Department of Defense. Other participating agencies include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the United States Internal Revenue Service. The Afghan Threat Finance Cell was set up at the initiative of General David Petraeus, when he was promoted to command of CentCom, based on the experience of the earlier Iraqi Threat Finance Cell, that had reported to him when he was in command in Iraq.〔 〕〔 〕 Tracking both illicit and legitimate financial transactions led to 27 approved targets to be named on the "Joint Prioritized Effects List".〔 The Joint Prioritized Effects List is colloquially called the "kill or capture list". Once an individual is named on this list, special forces are authorized to covertly target and raid that individual's home or workplace. In February 2011, Dexter Filkins, writing in ''The New Yorker'', reported:〔 In February 2012 the Afghan Threat Finance Cell was awarded the Department of Defense's Joint Meritorious Unit Award.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afghan Threat Finance Cell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
