At present, terrorists/guerrillas/freedom fighters/militants use complicated and cumbersome procedure to moving money around. Bitcoin could offer them a strong leg up.
For example, they could be using one of a dozen or so other sufficiently anonymous electronic currencies that are already available.
Pardon me, the word ‘could’ was missing, distorting my intended meaning. Edited.
I claim that the for the purposes of criminal activities the existing more popular electronic currencies are just as effective as bitcoin would be.
Now that you mention it I would claim that criminals use anonymous online currencies. Online currencies are notorious for money laundering. I have no idea what terrorists in particular currently do. Just what online resources they have available.

If you have evidence of the existence of electronic currencies heavily and successfully used by criminals and terrorists, will you please share?
This is not actually what I claimed.
