"“I worry about the Paris Olympics,” said Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former top U.N. counterterrorism official who is now a senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project. “They would be a premium terrorist target.”"

"“I'm worried about the Paris Olympics“Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior UN counter-terrorism official and senior advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, told the newspaper. “They would be a category one terrorist target.”"

"The Mideast war is “ramping up Islamist propaganda from Al-Qaeda, from IS, from Hamas, from Hezbollah”, said Hans-Jakob Schindler, head of the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit organisation.

“All talk to their sympathizers and say: you got to do something,” he told AFP."

"The Paris Summer Olympics could become a "premium terrorist target" after Friday's terrorist attack at a concert venue in the Moscow Region, a senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project international non-government organization, Edmund Fitton-Brown, said on Monday."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "IS-KP, IS Khorasan Province is a very special affiliate of the Islamic State. Purposefully set up by the Islamic State center from Iraq and Syria, they sent emissaries into Afghanistan. It's partially manned by ex-Taliban, partially manned by foreign terrorist fighters, including Tajik terrorist fighters. It has been the most active affiliate trying to conduct overseas attacks, several arrests here in Germany, in France,  in the Netherlands, several arrests in Russia in the last couple of years."

"Authorities in Russia say more than 60 people have been killed after shooters opened fire in a concert hall near Moscow. It's the worst attack Russia has faced in 20 years. The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility. Others reportedly escaped into a nearby forest.

"Afghanistan's IS branch was built by the group's envoys arriving from Iraq and Syria -- unlike almost everywhere else in the world, where pre-existing outfits pledged to its cause, said Hans-Jakob Schindler, director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) research outfit and a former UN terrorism expert."

CEP CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace & CEP Senior Advisor Ambassador Edmund Fitton-Brown write: "Washington's misplaced priorities in the Middle East over the last decade have left tens of millions exposed to the aggression of an Iranian-backed menace, the Houthis, who killed three civilian mariners this week in a missile strike on a cargo ship in the Red Sea. With Tehran's support, Houthi forces have launched near daily missile and drone attacks and committed acts of piracy and hostage taking since October that has disrupted the global economy and threatens wider war. It is critical that the U.S. move beyond the half-measures it has deployed, end the crisis, and restore stability."

“Unfortunately, what’s old is new again with anti-Semitism at its highest levels in the United States in decades. But now the bad guys don’t all wear recognizable brown shirts or white hoods anymore. Anti-Semites have changed their language and tactics in an attempt to legitimize their odious views,” said Lipowsky."
