As I mentioned previously, I was recently in Bucharest for a session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. As part of this, they have published my comments online. They can now be found here. As you will see, the presentation touches upon the terrorist threat to Europe and the western alliance more broadly – it draws [...]

The Islamist Terrorist Threat to Europe after Osama bin Laden’s Death

A longer paper on the current state of the Islamist terrorist threat to Europe ten years on from 9/11 for Chatham House. It was written and presented prior to news of Awlaki’s death, so that is not included, but I do not think it alters a huge amount the thrust of the piece, except to [...]
Al Shabaab: The American Connection
Posted: June 14, 2011 in GuardianTags: canada, counter-radicalisation, counter-terrorism, denmark, shabaab, Somalia, US, western jihadists
A new piece over at the Guardian, looking at the perennial question of al Shabaab and its western recruits. I realize the conclusion might be seen as a bit exaggerated, but it does seem to me that we are potentially running the risk of going in this direction and at the end of the day [...]
Jihadi MCs

A new piece for Prospect, looking this time at al Shabaab and its foreign recruitment. A rich topic that I keep coming back to, though one thing I realized I missed after publishing it was any mention of Shabaab’s TV channel. As ever, any tips or thoughts are warmly appreciated.

A new article in this month’s HSToday magazine, which you can buy on the newstands if you are in the US, or can see here free online. If I get the whole text later, I will post it here, but it is easily accessible through the link, so do try. It provides an overview of [...]

Posted: November 28, 2010 in African SecurityTags: australia, denmark, radicalization, sacralization, shabaab, shabab, Somalia, terrorism, UK, US
A new journal article lands at last in African Security, written in conjunction with Lorenzo and Evan, looking at al Shabaab and their internationalization. The article offers something of an overview of the phenomenon with particular focus on the various nations where fighters have come from in the West. This is a topic I have [...]

A new post for HSToday, a bit delayed as I have been traveling somewhere even more remote than usual. My computer has also come crashing down which has set me up with some serious problems. More on this plot to come. Europe on High Alert by Raffaello Pantucci Wednesday, 29 September 2010 Recent string of [...]

My latest for Free Rad!cals, looking at an odd case in Denmark. One thing that occurred to me while writing this is that I am unsure how exactly one refers to people from Copenhagen? Copenhagers? Something Rotten in the State of Denmark Filed under: Europe, Radicalisation Last Friday Danes were inconvenienced once again by the specter [...]

New piece for Jamestown covering the proscription of the Shabaab in the UK and Canada. I am working on a much larger piece about this topic, but it is likely to be a while before that lands. Any tips in the meantime of course appreciated. http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=36175 Al-Shabaab Proscribed in Canada and the United Kingdom Publication: [...]
