The Justice Department has seized millions of dollars from cryptocurrency accounts used by militant organizations based abroad, including the Islamic State group and al-Qaida.
Officials are describing it as the largest-ever seizure of digital currency funds related to terrorism.
The department says it's seized millions of dollars, more than 300 cryptocurrency accounts and four websites.
