| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the transformation of the Chechen conflict from a predominately nationalist to jihadist struggle, and compares the similar changes that took place in the Kashmiri insurgency. Using global jihadist strategy and ideology, and the accompanying influence of Al Qaida, both conflicts are shown to have taken on a new ideology and to have expanded beyond previous areas of operation. In both instances, the political leadership wrapped themselves in the mantle of political Islam (Islamism) as ensuing violence led to rapid socioeconomic transformation and social breakdown, thus allowing foreign jihadists to exert power and take up/divert the cause. In the past few years, two main groups originating in Chechnya and Kashmir have taken on Western targets and become more indoctrinated in Al Qaida's global jihadist ideology: the Caucasus Emirate (CE) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The opportunist franchising strategy of Al Qaida could come to play a role in the future of both groups, especially if the CE is able to coalesce into a more unified front. More importantly, the global jihadist attributes of the CE must begin to garner the same attention in the Western world as that of LeT.

| Summary/Abstract |
So far there has been little substantive research about how individuals engaged in counterterrorism initiatives, whether as community members or police officers or other professionals, negotiate this challenging terrain. This article suggests that community-based approaches to counterterrorism rely on the careful construction of certain forms of community engagement, rather than an all-encompassing claim that “communities defeat terrorism.” This article explores this issue further through analyzing and exploring the role that connectors, rather than communities per se, may play in counterterrorism.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 31 May, the Al-Qaeda franchise claimed its first Western victim in Mali when British tourist Dyer was executed. Captured across the Niger border on 22 January, Dyer had been held in northeast Mali.Given that 37 other Westerners have been ransomed since 2003, his death appeared to be a clear signal that the Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)faction established in Mali were more than just criminal opportunists.The fact that his execution was apparently in response to the UK government refusing to release Jordanian militant cleric Abu Qatada seemed to support this.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the last few years, much attention has been devoted to the phenomenon of homegrown jihadist networks in the West. Most analyses have been based on the dual assumption that this phenomenon has manifested itself only extremely recently and that it is largely limited to Europe. While these two assertions are not completely unfounded, they do not take into consideration significant anecdotal evidence pointing to a long history of homegrown networks inspired by radical Islam operating within the United States. After an extensive overview of such history, the article analyzes the phenomenon of radicalization in America in comparison to Europe and the evolution of U.S. authorities' reaction to it.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Islamic State (IS) terror group continues to operate and endure
five years after its founding in 2014 and after the loss of its caliphate in
March this year. The IS has also endured the killings of its Caliph Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi in October and other senior leaders in the last few
years. A factor in the resilience of the IS is the nature of its organisational
structure – which is quite ambiguous, with no clear hierarchy – that is
not severely affected by leadership decapitations or territorial losses.
However, a larger force behind its survival is its ideological appeal and
emphasis on using violence to achieve its ends. The IS has invested a
lot of resources and expertise in propagating and micromanaging its
ideological message across the jihadist landscape. The ideology of the
IS – a mix of Salafi-jihadism, Sunni extremism and a nihilistic outlook
– has found resonance among radical sympathisers worldwide and
had managed to bridge the gap between jihadist thought and action by
establishing a functioning Islamic caliphate in 2014, something that no
other Islamist terror group had been able to do

| Summary/Abstract |
Tunisians were holding their breath as the country got ready for its first legislative elections since the Arab Spring revolution. Jihadists threatened to derail the electoral process. Three days before the October 26th vote, security forces disrupted a terrorist plot in the south. A day later, they struck a jihadist hideout near Tunis, the capital; six suspected terrorists, including five women, and one security officer were killed in the clashes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite claims to the contrary, governments have frequently talked to groups branded as terrorists in their efforts to find peaceful solutions to longstanding armed conflicts. The rhetoric of the so-called War on Terror has tended to portray an uncompromising and extreme, monolithic Islamist enemy with whom such accommodation is unthinkable. Therefore, it is not surprising that the potential for dialogue and negotiation with Islamist terrorist groups has been relatively neglected. This article examines the character of the contemporary Islamist threat and explores the prospects for selective engagement with terrorist groups that may not share Al Qaeda's global jihadist agenda.

| Summary/Abstract |
The relationship between social ties and jihadist participation has garnered substantial attention from terrorism scholars. However, further research is needed to understand what specific properties of interpersonal bonds influence terrorist involvement and how they operate. Drawing on social network theory, the current study tests the effects of the type, number, and strength of interpersonal ties with jihadist activists in explaining the occurrence and absence of individual engagement in jihadist activities. For that purpose, this paper analyzes the social links of twenty-three youths involved in terrorism and twenty-one youths who, despite their attitudinal affinity with jihadism, did not take part in such actions. Combining quantitative and qualitative data and methods of analysis, the study found empirical evidence that participation in jihadism is affected by the number of connections between young people and the global jihadist movement. It also found partial support for the relationship between tie strength and jihadist involvement. However, it rejected the assumption that the type of social tie influences participation.

| Summary/Abstract |
The purpose of this article is to look at the importance and treatment that Spain receives in jihadist propaganda. This study offers a series of empirical observations based on a content analysis of a sample of propaganda produced by jihadist groups between January 1994 and September 2008. The analysis of this material, the context in which it was spread, and a comparison with other Western countries leads to the conclusion that the role played by this country in jihadist propaganda can only be understood by taking into account "structural factors" that have little to do with a greater or lesser level of interference in "Islamic affairs.

This article traces the movement of foreign jihadis to the Pashtun tribal lands situated on the volatile Pakistani-Afghan border from the time of the CIA-sponsored Operation 'Cyclone' to the re-emergence of the Taliban in 2006-2007. The role of autonomous jihadi groups such as the Kashmiri parties, Uighurs, Chechens, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan as well as the neo-Taliban insurgents and Al-Qaeda terrorist and 055 fighting forces are also analyzed. The article concludes with an overview of fighting and terror trends and future prospects along the Pakistani-Afghan border
