Continuity and Change: Reshaping the Fight against Terrorism
Levitt, Matthew; Jacobson, Michael (eds.)
Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Policy Focus #103, April 2010, online edition, 106p (PDF)
At the outset of the nuclear summit, President Obama warned that nuclear terrorism is "one of the greatest threats to global security," observing that terrorist groups like al-Qaeda would "surely use" a nuclear device if they were able to obtain one. He further argued that a "new mindset" is required to successfully meet this dangerous challenge. How has the Obama administration's response to the resilient terrorism threat expanded on or deviated from Bush-era strategy? To help answer this important question, the Washington Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence has compiled and analyzed a set of lectures by senior counterterrorism officials delivered at the Institute since President Obama took office."
Matthew Levitt is director of the Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute. Michael Jacobson is a senior fellow, Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the same institute.
