    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.

  • USS Stethem to Aid Support in Japanese-Led F-35A Search and Recovery Operations
    Another example of a mission ready ship because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer USS Stethem to Aid Support in Japanese-led F-35A Search and Recovery Operations Story Number: NNS190425-10Release Date: 4/25/2019 11:25:00 AM From U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs OKINAWA, Japan (NNS) -- A U.S. Navy salvage team embarked a contracted vessel and departed Okinawa, April 24, to assist Japanese-led search and recovery operations for a downed Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) F-35A. DSCV Van Gogh is a multipurpose diving support and construction vessel equipped with U.S. Navy remotely operated vehicles and a U.S. Navy towed-pinger locator (TPL-25) system. The F-35A aircraft went missing approximately 85 miles east of Misawa Air Base on April 9th. From April 9-17, U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, USS Stethem (DDG 63) and P-8A Poseidon aircraft joined JASDF forces, searching an area spanning approximately 5,000 square nautical miles. The seamless cooperation between the U.S. military and the JASDF during this operation is yet another reflection of a strong alliance, forged over decades of mutual support and friendship. U.S. 7th Fleet provides security alongside allies and partners throughout a free and open Indo-Pacific. As the U.S. Navy's largest forward-deployed fleet, 7th Fleet operates roughly 50-70 ships and submarines, and 140 aircraft with approximately 20,000 Sailors. Webmaster’s Note: USS Stethem (DDG-63) is an Arleigh Burke- class destroyer in the United States Navy. The ship was built in Pascagoula, Mississippi, starting on 11 May 1993.

  • Closing the Gaps on Hezbollah's Global Operations by Matthew Levitt
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Closing the Gaps on Hezbollah's Global Operations by Matthew Levitt Jun 18, 2014 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Matthew Levitt Matthew Levitt is the Fromer-Wexler Fellow and director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute. Articles & Testimony The group's large-scale criminal enterprises make it particularly vulnerable to measures such as Congress's recently introduced Hezbollah International Financing Act of 2014. wenty-nine years ago this week, a traumatic yet formative event occurred that prompted a major change in T U.S. policy on terrorism. On June 14, 1985, two Hezbollah hijackers took over TWA Flight 847 just after it took off from Athens en route to Rome. Over the course of 17 days, a short flight turned into a terrifying 8,500 mile journey around the Mediterranean that led to the murder of U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem. The flight bounced back and forth between Algiers and Beirut, where the two original hijackers, Mohammed Ali Hamadi and Hassan Izz al-Din, were joined by other armed militants including the famed Hezbollah terrorist Imad Mughniyeh. The passengers were moved to safe houses around Beirut, further increasing the severity of the Lebanon hostage crisis that was already underway in Lebanon. Ultimately, 39 hostages were freed on June 29 and sent to Damascus. That November, the hijackers were indicted by an American court on 15 different counts, though this would not deter them from further activity. Izz al-Din was later linked to the 1988 hijacking of Kuwait Air Flight 422 from Bangkok, and Hamadi was arrested in West Germany in 1987 after attempting to carry liquid explosives onto a plane departing from Frankfurt.

  • Robert Dean Stethem, Jr ~ (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985)
    In Honor of: ~ SW2(DV) Robert Dean Stethem, Jr ~ (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Funding for NavyDEP.com is provided by your purchases from PIRGifts.com & USNGifts.com INTRODUCTION TO Seabee SW2(DV) Robert D. Stethem, Jr. (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Rev: Stethem 1.0 Seabee SW2(DV) Robert Dean Stethem, Jr (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Since I am Navy veteran, and I will not sugarcoat this. WARNING, TISSUE ALERT! Note from Craig: Not everything is fun and games in the U.S. Navy. I made this post to teach future sailors about the Navy. We must never forget those that protect us. When your family members receives a phone call from you in boot camp it will come up with a “847 “ area code for Great Lakes on their phones. When it appears, they will jump with joy. Not many people know that this number, 847, actually brings a moment of silence from Navy veterans that served during the 1985 era. You see, that number was the actual flight number (TWA-847) when we lost a Navy sailor due to terrorism. It is one of the Navy's saddest moment. Seabee SW2(DV) Robert Dean Stethem, Jr (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Steelworker Second Class (Diver) Robert D. Stethem, United States Navy Sailor, was a murder victim due to terrorism. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut and raised in Waldorf, Maryland, he was one of three sons (his father and two brothers also served in the US Navy; his mother worked for the Navy as a civilian).
