This report summarizes the most prominent events brought up in the Jihadist online forums in the first half of May 2011. Following are the main issues raised in this report:
• Global Jihad organizations, media institutes and Jihadist forums eulogize Bin Laden and vow revenge following his death in the hands of American Special Forces. • Anwar Al-Awlaki escaped an American assassination attempt in Southern Yemen. • The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU): A special review.
The Jihadi Monitoring Group (JWMG) is a specialized research and analysis team at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). Composed of researchers fluent in Arabic, the JWMG monitors websites that support and serve the Global Jihad organizations. The unique characteristic of JWMG publications is the team's integration of diverse materials from a wide variety of Arabic sources. JWMG connects each source to larger trends, providing a complete understanding of events on both a local and a global scale.
