Summary
The Internet is the new training ground for terrorist organizations — a readily accessible, globally distributed broadcasting platform for recruitment, indoctrination, and instructional videos. With unprecedented access to al Qaeda and radical jihadi video content, this program provides penetrating insights into the minds of those who produce these underground films—and of those who watch them. Jihadi video producer Omar Bakri and jihadi media distributor Mohammed al-Massari are featured, as well as media warfare and counterterrorism specialists at the U.S. Military Academy and others committed to the fight against the online radicalization of Muslim youth.
