    Worthy thread....

    Last night, the US admitted publicly that they killed al-Asiri in a drone strike. He was NOT a master bomb maker, & speaking now as a former EOD tech, the US obsession with al-Asiri embodies everything misguided about US natsec "strategy." (thread/)

    Great story on Europe’s cyberbattle with ISIS propaganda

    For terrorists it is axiomatic that survival=communication. Al Qaeda's continued ability to communicate after 9/11 enabled it to survive the GWOT as ISIS has the international campaign against it.

    There are likely sealed cases, but at least in the public realm, terrorism-related arrests have slowed down considerably this year.

    We’ve updated our ISIS in America numbers to reflect a guilty plea last month. In a rarity since our March 2014 data collection, there has been no public arrrest or charge for ISIS related activities this month.
