Readers may like to know that I have a cover piece in this week’s magazine titled ‘The Enemy Within’. It is available here for subscribers. (Non-subscribers can subscribe here.) It looks at what – if anything – will change after the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich. It is also an account of just some of the difficulties going on inside the British government in the fight against extremism.
On a separate but related note, my colleague at the Henry Jackson Society, Robin Simcox was testifying in front of the US House of Representatives last week. His testimony is here.
Robin is one of the authors of our latest report on Al-Qaeda related terrorism in the US. It is a comprehensive analysis of all US-based cases, with a foreword by the former Director of the CIA General Michael Hayden. It is a follow-up to the earlier publication – an analysis of all UK-based Islamist terrorism cases from 1999-2010 – with a foreword by Lord Carlile. In the wake of recent attacks in Boston and London both these publications are I think essential cornerstones for any understanding of this area.
