CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story: "It is the second major front for the Israeli military. In recent days, there has been an increase in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon on the northern border of the Jewish state. Fighting has intensified, particularly after the death of a senior commander of the Shiite militia last week."

"A multi-state FBI counterterrorism wiretap sting has rolled up eight Tajikistani nationals in three cities who had entered over the U.S. Southwest Border and were plotting some sort of bombing. On its own, what little is known about this terrible new consequence of President Joe Biden’s ongoing historic mass migration border crisis – a coordinated, large-cell infiltration attack on the homeland – ranked as startling enough to draw congressional demands for much more basic information than the administration will currently release. […] As one indication of public sentiment toward Islamic extremist ideology in the Kyrgyz Republic, an estimated 850 of its citizens reportedly joined ISIS between 2013 and 2015, and regional scholars insist the real number is higher, according to the Counter Extremism Project."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Most normal people would have no hesitation in condemning what was done to Jim Dixon and the other townspeople murdered beside him as straightforward terrorism. That is beyond the capability of Pat Cullen, the Sinn Fein candidate standing for that constituency in the forthcoming Westminster elections."

"'The importance of Mumin, ISIS-Somalia, ISCAP [Islamic State Central Africa Province] and the al-Karrar office is not in doubt,' said Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior United Nations counterterrorism official who currently serves as a senior adviser for the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story on the ISIS threat in Germany during the European Football 2024 UEFA European Football Championship.

"“Berlin – Visually, the poster is reminiscent of pixelated 3D shooting games from the 90s: A man in camouflage clothing and with a machine gun stands in a stylized football stadium. Above it in broken English is the sentence: "Score the last goal" - and three possible targets: Berlin, Dortmund and Munich . The message of this and numerous other images in the radical Islamist propaganda magazine Stimme von Khorasan is nothing less than a call for terrorist attacks during the 2024 European Championships in Germany. […] "IS wants to exploit Moscow's momentum," believes terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). At the end of March, more than 130 people were killed in a terrorist attack on an event center near Moscow . Immediately after the attack, IS released a long speech as an audio recording. The message: Europe is the next target. "They want to show that they are active and are now putting it into action," explains Schindler.”

“It could alleviate the suffering of many people in the southern Gaza Strip a little and at least temporarily spare them from new fighting: Israel's military announced "daily tactical pauses" on Sunday. Between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time (7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central European Time), the guns will be silent in selected parts of the coastal area, meaning that army operations will cease. Israel says it wants to enable the delivery of larger quantities of aid supplies. The ceasefire will apply to the route from the Kerem Shalom border crossing to Salah al-Din Street and then further north. The decision was made following consultations with the United Nations and other organizations, it said. […] Hans-Jakob Schindler believes it is plausible that the ceasefire is justified by humanitarian concerns. However, according to the senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project, military considerations are probably also behind the decision.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story: "Israel announces that it will silence its weapons in southern Gaza for several hours a day. An expert explains the extent to which this has something to do with the fight against Hezbollah."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "Tragic events with a connection to the European Championship - but no cause for concern for terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler. "The incidents are within the range of what was to be expected," he emphasizes. Such acts are difficult to prevent."

"Today's guest on the "Alles Muss Raus" podcast is Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project. Together with his colleagues, he pursues the goal of countering threats from extremist ideologies. In today's interview, Thilo wants to know from him how Germany has prepared for possible attacks. Should people be worried when they go to a soccer stadium or should they even stay at home? Is it possible to enjoy this year's European Championship in your own country? Dr. Schindler gives the all-clear - according to the expert, the European Championship is very well protected against possible attacks. The police and security apparatus have been preparing for possible dangers for months. Nevertheless, Thilo has an oppressive feeling. Could people want to imitate the Mannheim attacker? How safe are other major events, such as the Fusion Festival, which Thilo will be attending again this year? He also wonders how to prepare for an attack if the worst comes to the worst. How do civilians recognize terror?"
