Budget
As with virtually everything tied to the Mukhabarat, its budget is a state secret. Details from leaked partner documents suggest that the Air Force Intelligence Directorate's budget in 2013 was around $4.7 billion, broken down into the following:
- $2.1 billion for intelligence collection and covert operations.
- 0.6 for
- 0.5
- 1.6
It is unclear how accurate these figures are, and if this includes foreign currency used for clandestine operations. Furthermore, as the Mukhabarat is suspected to be engaged in counterfeiting and cyber-attacks against enemy financial institutions, its official budget is not necessarily equal to the true amount of money available for its use.
