NATO’s determination and solidarity in fighting the evolving challenge posed by terrorism has constantly increased since the Alliance invoked its collective defence clause for the first time in response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States of America. NATO has gained much experience in countering terrorism from its missions and operations. However, NATO cannot defeat terrorism on its own. Fortunately, we do not stand alone.

  • Al Qaeda’S Command- And-Control Structure
    Testimony of Steven Emerson Before the United States House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence April 9, 2008 Steven Emerson Executive Director Investigative Project on Terrorism www.investigativeproject.org email:[email protected] Introduction: The 2001 invasion of Afghanistan was successful in obliterating much of al Qaeda’s command- and-control structure. Due to a robust and successful counter-terrorist policy made up of good intelligence gathered by the FBI, asset forfeitures and designations by the Department of the Treasury, and other good work by the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies within the intelligence community, the U,S. has fortunately not been hit with another attack since 9-11. Moreover, in the six and a half years since the those horrible, al Qaeda’s direct orchestration of acts of terrorism on the operational level has been somewhat constrained. This is not to say that al Qaeda has not been involved in terrorist attacks and plots since 2001 (training and guidance provided by al Qaeda in the 2005 London transit bombings and foiled 2006 Heathrow plot prove otherwise), but the group’s leaders have relied largely on the power of self- anointed franchises and recognized the power of spreading its message and ideology via the Internet. Extremist Muslims throughout the world have responded to this message and have sought to execute a number of attacks. While most have been stopped, some have been successful, killing hundreds and injuring thousands more, resulting in propaganda coups for al Qaeda and its leadership. Parallel to franchising the al Qaeda ideology, the group has successfully regenerated its operational capabilities in the sanctuary of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan.

  • Russia and Montenegro: How and Why a Centuries Old Relationship Ruptured
    Connections: The Quarterly Journal ISSN 1812-1098, e-ISSN 1812-2973 Ivana Gardasevic, Connections QJ 17, no. 1 (2018): 61-75 https://doi.org/10.11610/Connections.17.1.04 Research Article Russia and Montenegro: How and Why a Centuries Old Relationship Ruptured Ivana Gardasevic Security and Defense Committee, Parliament of Montenegro, http://skupstina.me/index.php/en/odbor-za-bezbjednost-i-odbranu/about-the- working-body Abstract: In 2016 Montenegro and America shared a common problem – Russian meddling in the democratic process of both countries. According to an official assessment from American intelligence agencies, Russia was involved in an obstruction of the American presidential elections. During the 2016 October election night in Montenegro, Russian citizens together with individuals from Serbia and Montenegro, planned to kill former Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic and overthrow his pro-Western government. Russian nationalists, members of the Russia’s military intelligence service GRU, were involved in the planned action with the goal of stopping Mon- tenegrin accession to NATO. Officially Moscow denied its involvement in both cases. The aim of this article will be to offer answers to the dilemma – how did it happen that Montenegro, after a clear commitment to be- come the next member of NATO, has found itself in the center of the Rus- sian sphere of influence? Moreover, this article is written with an intention to clarify how modern techniques of Russian hybrid warfare became visible in the case of Montenegrin accession to NATO. Keywords: Montenegro, USA, 2016 elections, Russia, democratic process, NATO, hybrid warfare. Introduction By the end of 2016 Montenegro (MNE) and America were experiencing similar problems.

Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract Since the civil wars of the 1990s, the Western Balkans region has been plagued by conflict and instability. The United States and Western Europe disengaged from this region in the last decade, and the Western Balkan countries have become particularly unstable due to internal vulnerabilities and external influence from state and non- state actors. CNA initiated a study to assess these internal vulnerabilities and external influence and threats from Russia, international terrorism, and transnational organized crime. Using research and semi-structured discussions with subject matter experts in the United States, Serbia, and Macedonia, including recent U.S. senior military and civilian leaders, this paper presents findings and implications for U.S.

  • Historical Dictionary of International Intelligence Second Edition
    The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays on the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events. Brief A–Z entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross- referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, pho- tographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.
