Thinking of how to draw a picture of the region makes me think of Francesco Goya's new work, especially if he was alive today. Perhaps this could be a conventional observation when you think of the Arab homeland; it's constantly a broad graphic representation, but I would argue that we could undoubtedly imagine this starting point by thinking alternatively about it.

    The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. Since 2003, we have published the calendar in a daily planner format that provides our consumers with a variety of information related to international terrorism, including wanted terrorists; terrorist group fact sheets; technical issue related to terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures; and potential dates of importance that terrorists might consider when planning attacks. The cover of this year’s CT Calendar highlights terrorists’ growing use of social media and other emerging online technologies to recruit, radicalize, and encourage adherents to carry out attacks. This year will be the last hardcopy publication of the calendar, as growing production costs necessitate our transition to more cost- effective dissemination methods. In the coming years, NCTC will use a variety of online and other media platforms to continue to share the valuable information found in the CT Calendar with a broad customer set, including our Federal, State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement partners; agencies across the Intelligence Community; private sector partners; and the US public. On behalf of NCTC, I want to thank all the consumers of the CT Calendar during the past 12 years. We hope you continue to find the CT Calendar beneficial to your daily efforts. Sincerely, Nicholas J. Rasmussen Director The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. This edition, like others since the Calendar was first published in daily planner format in 2003, contains many features across the full range of issues pertaining to international terrorism: terrorist groups, wanted terrorists, and technical pages on various threat-related topics.

  • Ott-Dic 2001 ©
    ARTICOLI PUBBLICATI SU LOMBARDIA OGGI NEL TRIMESTRE OTT-DIC 2001 © [©] 7-ott-2001 Salvatore Benvenga La notizia ha fatto il giro del mondo: Kasparov, Kramnik e Karpov, tramite la Itar-Tass (la nuova agenzia di stampa russa), hanno annunciato ufficialmente che daranno vita ad un torneo a tre. La sfida incrociata si terrà a Mosca dal 1 al 12 dicembre ed ognuno dei tre K giocherà quattro partite contro ciascun avversario. L'agenzia di stampa enfatizza il fatto che i tre campioni del mondo russi diano vita ad una supersfida (di cat. XXII !!) che sarà senza dubbio seguitissima da tutti gli appassionati. (Kramnik, lo ricordiamo non è un campione del mondo ufficiale, in quanto non detiene alcun titolo Fide, ma tale appellativo gli è stato omaggiato da parte della stampa per aver sconfitto Kasparov nel match di Londra di qualche mese fa. Ndr). Kramnik ha sottolineato che quest'anno ricorre il novantesimo dalla nascita di Botvinnik. L'indimenticato campione del mondo fu direttore della più importante scuola scacchistica russa a cui si formarono anche Karpov, Kasparov e Kramnik. La sfida viene altresì presentata come una autocelebrazione dello scacchiamo russo e della sua scuola ed anche il luogo scelto (Mosca) vuole essere un omaggio ai milioni di appassionati scacchisti russi la cui levatura media è notevolmente alta. Le dichiarazioni di Kasparov e Kramnik non sono state esenti da alcune aperte critiche alla gestione della Fide da parte dell'attuale presidente Ilyumzhinov per quanto attiene alle modalità organizzative del campionato del mondo Fide a cui essi non parteciperanno. L'organizzazione della sfida dimostra infine chiaramente che le opinioni tra i tre K si sono notevolmente avvicinate e che il loro peso potrebbe incidere nel prossimo futuro dell'organizzazione scacchistica mondiale.
