I have been travelling somewhere where this site was blocked, so I am going to be catching up on old articles for a day or so. There are also new ones in the pipeline, but apologies if you have already seen them elsewhere. First up is a piece for Jamestown that builds on my work [...]

A new post for Free Rad!cals this time exploring in some depth documents I have not managed to see first hand yet (hint, if anyone feels like sharing or has more info about them, please don’t hesitate to write!). An admittedly slightly premature piece consequently, but it gives me an opportunity to extemporise about a [...]

A short post for HSToday about Lone Wolves, this time offering some thoughts on the countering them aspect. Some more considered and substantial thoughts on this in the pipeline. What Can Be Done About Lone Wolves? By: Raffaello Pantucci 12/20/2011 ( 9:47am) Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently vocalized a threat that has preoccupied security planners.

A new journal article for Studies in Conflict and Terrorism with Peter and Ryan looking at the community of “middle managers” in al Qaeda. It got a write-up on Bloomberg that appears to have been picked up in a couple of places. Took a while to emerge, but explores some ideas and a community that [...]
The Next Decade of Terror

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 [...]

Britain’s Jihadist Networks
Posted: October 11, 2011 in HSTodayTags: Afghanistan, counter-radicalization, counter-terrorism, Europe, Germany, terrorism, UK
A new piece on recent plotting in the UK for HSToday, a few editorial choices I might not have made, but the overall point was to cover a couple of recent plots in the UK. Once the book finally lands, a lot more on this topic. In the meantime, in Bucharest recently for the NATO [...]
The Islamist Terrorist Threat to Europe after Osama bin Laden’s Death
Posted: October 5, 2011 in Chatham HouseTags: Afghanistan, Al Qaeda, AQAP, AQIM, counter-radicalization, counter-terrorism, denmark, Europe, France, Germany, lone wolves, Osama bin laden, Pakistan, radicalization, shabaab, shabab, terrorism, UK
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 [...]

I have had a spike in visitors today, likely the result of horrific events in Norway this afternoon. However, we are early days yet so I am going to keep my powder dry for a while on that. Come back soon if you want to hear some thoughts (or contact me directly for anything specific). [...]
The White Man’s Jihad

A new piece for Foreign Policy’s AfPak Channel, looking at the phenomenon of converts going to fight jihad in AfPak. I have looked at this a couple of times before, and keep considering a longer piece on it but haven’t quite figured it out yet. I know others are also looking at this, and I [...]
