Despite the closure of several leading online forums associated with al-Qaeda, other Jihadi forums have devoted wide coverage to the terrorist attack in Mumbai. For the time being, forum members rely primarily on foreign media reports, quoting a great deal from the articles and posting photographs from the scene of the attacks. It is likely that in the next several days, various online forums will post more in-depth analyses of the attacks.
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.
