Financing Terrorism
Without money, terrorists cannot function as organizations and cannot conduct attacks. Yet the questions remain, how vulnerable are terrorists to financial disruptions? Can governments put pressure on their finances in meaningful ways or are they too resilient and adaptive to be affected by state actions? These and other questions about terrorism financing are vigorously debated by scholars and policymakers, particularly since the attacks of September 11th 2001 . While there is a growing literature on policy issues, strategies, and countermeasures, states must first understand their enemies before developing strategies to defeat them. So, instead of focusing on the state response, this book ...
America, Pakistan, and the India Factor
This book is not just an update to studies of Middle Eastern policy and diplomacy, but an in-depth analysis that covers the United States' foreign and strategic policy from the days of President Roosevelt to President Obama and Pakistan's security and strategic planning since its inception to 2011, under the shadow of India and Afghanistan.
Inside the Terrifying World of Jaish-e-Mohammed
New Delhi, December 2001: 'Terror Strikes Parliament, 12 Killed' Pulwama, February 2019:'44 Dead in Valley's Bloodiest Day' Since its inception in 2000, Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Pakistan-supported South Asian terrorist group with a pan-Islamist vision, has been responsible for countless terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, and bringing India and Pakistan on the verge of full-fledged war twice. This book, the first detailed and comprehensive study of JeM, examines its origins, ideology, organizational structure, financing, strategies and tactics, radicalization methods, fidayeen attacks and information networks. Dr Abhinav Pandya's rigorous field research includes extensive interviews with veteran intelligence and security professionals who have dealt with JeM since its founding, as well as intelligence dossiers, charge sheets of cases and confidential reports on the outfit. With the return of the Taliban to Afghanistan enhancing JeM's operational capabilities, this book is critical reading for an in-depth understanding of the past, present and likely future of JeM.

Storming the World Stage
Lashkar-e-Taiba is among the most powerful militants groups in South Asia and increasingly viewed as a global terrorist threat on par with al-Qaeda. Considered Pakistan's most powerful proxy against India, the group gained public prominence after its deadly ten-person suicide assault on Mumbai in November 2008. By the time the last Lashkar terrorist was dead after nearly 60 hours, it appeared the world was facing a new menace. Boasting transnational networks stretching across several continents, there has been serious debate since 9/11 of whether Lashkar is an al-Qaeda affiliate. The deliberate targeting of Westerners and Jews during the Mumbai attacks raised questions about whether Lashkar ...
Jihadist Cells and "IED" Capabilities in Europe
The first of two interrelated security threats is multifaceted inasmuch as it stems from a complex combination of religious, political, historical, cultural, social, and economic motivational factors caused by the growing predilection for carrying out mass casualty terrorist attacks inside the territories of ¿infidel¿ Western countries by clandestine operational cells that are inspired by, and sometimes linked to, various jihadist networks with a global agenda. The second threat is more narrowly technical: the widespread fabrication of increasingly sophisticated and destructive improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by those very same jihadist groups. These devices, if properly constructed, are capable of causing extensive human casualties and significant amounts of physical destruction within their respective blast radiuses. These dual intersecting threats within the recent European context are examined in an effort to assess what they might portend for the future, including within the U.S. homeland.
