ADL Terrorism Update Newsletter Focuses On Boston Marathon Bombing

The April edi­tion of Ter­ror­ism Update, ADL’s newslet­ter pro­vid­ing news and analy­sis on inter­na­tional ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions and their fol­low­ers in the U.S., is now available.

The fea­ture arti­cle high­lights the use of the Al Qaeda in the Ara­bian Penin­sula mag­a­zine Inspire by domes­tic extrem­ists moti­vated by rad­i­cal inter­pre­ta­tions of Islam. Author­i­ties report­edly con­firmed that Dzhokhar and Tamer­lan Tsar­naev, the alleged Boston Marathon bombers, used bomb mak­ing instruc­tions found in the pages of Inspire.

The pro­file exam­ines the Tsar­naev broth­ers’ social media pro­files and online inter­ests, includ­ing their appar­ent fas­ci­na­tion with mil­i­tancy and Islam. Par­al­lels between Tamer­lan Tsar­naev, the dead Boston Marathon bomb­ing sus­pect, and an Aus­tralian preacher named Feiz Moham­mad are also explored.

This edi­tion also includes infor­ma­tion on recent terror-related arrests in Illi­nois, Ore­gon, and Vir­ginia, as well updates to ter­ror pros­e­cu­tions in Wash­ing­ton, Florida and New Jer­sey.

ADL Terrorism Update Newsletter Features “Tweeting for Terror”

The Decem­ber edi­tion of Ter­ror­ism Update, ADL’s newslet­ter pro­vid­ing news and analy­sis on inter­na­tional ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions and their fol­low­ers in the U.S., is now available.

This edi­tion includes infor­ma­tion on recent terror-related arrests in Alabama, South­ern Cal­i­for­nia, and Florida, as well updates to ter­ror pros­e­cu­tions in Wash­ing­ton and New York.

Ter­ror­ism Update also includes a pro­file of deceased Amer­i­can ter­ror pro­pa­gan­dist, Moeed Abdul Salam, and a fea­ture, “Tweet­ing for Ter­ror,” which gives an overview of how for­eign ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions exploit social media.

The fea­ture sum­ma­rizes how ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions seek­ing to spread their ide­ol­ogy and attract fol­low­ers around the world now make use of the lat­est tech­nolo­gies and media plat­forms to reach vast and con­stantly con­nected audi­ences. Twit­ter, the online social net­work­ing and microblog­ging ser­vice, is just one of the plat­forms exploited by ter­ror­ist groups.  Var­i­ous State Department-designated FTOs claim to oper­ate a vari­ety of Twit­ter accounts, in mul­ti­ple languages.
