AJC Launches Counterterrorism Watch
American Jewish Committee
December 8, 2005 – New York – Counterterrorism Watch, an online initiative, has been launched by the American Jewish Committee’s Division on Middle East and International Terrorism.
“We created Counterterrorism Watch to help inform and educate about the relentless threat of terrorism, and what is being done to confront it,” said Yehudit Barsky, director of the AJC Division on Middle East and International Terrorism. The division, established in 1999, focuses on gathering, interpreting, and disseminating open source intelligence. It is the only department of its kind within the Jewish organizational world.
Counterterrorism Watch is a web-based resource – www.ajc.org/counterterrorism -- providing detailed analyses on current issues concerning international terrorism, as well as information on terrorist attacks, trials of terrorists, and actions taken against terrorists.
Barsky, who is the editor of Counterterrorism Watch, is fluent in Arabic and Hebrew, and is one of the top American experts on Middle East terrorist groups and radical Islam. She has written a number of AJC publications on Middle Eastern terrorist organizations.
“Counterterrorism Watch will be an address for anyone concerned about the threat which appears to be growing,” said Barsky. Current features articles, authored by noted experts, include “Domestic Intelligence Gathering and Civil Liberties,” and “European Attitudes toward Hamas and Hizballah.”
While the website will be updated regularly, Barsky said a quarterly printed newsletter, featuring material from Counterterrorism Watch, also will be published.
