Daily Mail: The ISIS resurgence: How Islamist fanatics are once again spreading terror around the world, killing dozens in Moscow concert hall, Taylor Swift concert massacre plot and bid to assassinate the Pope
"Edmund Fitton-Brown, Senior Advisor to the Counter Extremism Project and former Ambassador of the UK to Yemen, told MailOnline: 'ISIS methodically kept itself alive during the height of military and counterterrorism pressure it faced by creating a global structure of mutually supportive regional networks.'
He said those operating out of Afghanistan, East Africa and West Africa have been 'particularly effective'.
'The regional network structure allows for a formerly "remote province" like Khorasan to step up and enable international attacks if it has the capacity to do so.
'That capacity is partly enabled by funds authorised by the leadership in Syria.
'Khorasan is also important because of diasporas: Uzbek, Chechen, Daghestani and especially Tajik.
'These ethnicities provide networks that link Afghanistan, Turkey, Central Asia, the Caucasus with target venues in Russia, Iran, Germany, Scandinavia, France.'"
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
