Already under scrutiny for tax exempt bonds and gaming revenues, Indian Country is facing more enforcement from the Internal Revenue Service.

The Arizona Daily Star reports that IRS agents are concerned that potential terrorists and "other evildoers" are using tribal gaming operations to launder money. A new federal law requires tribal workers to file "Suspicious Activity Reporting by Casinos" reports if they observe certain activities deemed questionable by the IRS.

The scrutiny has some tribal regulators concerned that their businesses will be hurt.
