Tanzania remained vulnerable to international terrorism, as the terrorist network responsible for the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing remained active in the region. Tanzania established a National Counterterrorism Center in late 2007 and continued its participation in several multi-year programs to strengthen its law enforcement and military capacity, improve aviation and border security, and combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Tanzania's Anti-Money Laundering Act, which created a Financial Intelligence Unit as an extra-ministerial department of the Ministry of Finance, was signed into law in July 2007, with implementing regulations published in September 2007.
