Since the murderous terrorist attacks perpetrated by Mohammed Al-Merah in Toulouse, France some three weeks ago, a trend has been visible of increased threats against targets in Western Europe, made by members of both jihadist Internet forums and jihadist groups, including Al-Qaeda.
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.
