CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "But in this part of the UK, police officers face an enduring and unique threat from a terrorist gang that is desperate to maintain its relevance by murdering them. Dissident republican terrorists who reject Northern Ireland’s 1998 peace agreement have tried repeatedly to kill police officers and in some cases have unfortunately succeeded."

"Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project and former coordinator of a terror monitoring team in the UN Security Council, told The Media Line that Syria no longer operates as IS’s center of gravity as it once did. He said that the recent attack in Syria might be a way for the group to 'show [its] relevance' and improve its public image."

"The John Brown Gun Club, named after the 19th century slavery abolitionist, promotes the abolition of police and other perceived symbols of oppression, according to the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project, which tracks extremism on the far right and far left.

Patriot Front sprouted from Vanguard America, 'a white nationalist, neo-Nazi group opposed to the idea of a multicultural America,' according to the Counter Extremism Project.

In the Pacific Northwest, the group has defaced civil rights and Pride murals, monuments and signs that promote equality, a tactic it employs nationally, according to the Counter Extremism Project."

CEP Strategic Advisor Liam Duffy writes: "The most destructive, spectacular and costly riots in France’s recent history, surpassing even the infamous unrest of 2005, are over. To the Anglophone media and its audiences they were an expression of the anger felt among the children of France’s former overseas possessions – a generational resentment fuelled by experiences of poverty, discrimination and painful colonial legacies."

"Hans-Jakob Schindler vom Counter Extremism Project in Berlin sieht die Entwicklung in der Region kritisch: «Eine völlige Destabilisierung Nigers würde einen weiteren Stein aus der Brandmauer der internationalen Gemeinschaft gegen den Terrorismus in der Region reißen.» Wenn die Situation im Niger nicht schnell und nachhaltig gelöst werde, sei es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass der Terrorismus noch schneller zunehmen werde. Das könnte auch Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit in Europa haben, warnte Schindler."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson write: "Given the ease with which eco-activists invaded their family home yesterday morning, this slice of actuarial science will be of limited comfort to the Sunak family – and, indeed, to North Yorkshire Police. And while Greenpeace themselves offer no threat of violence, the fact they were able to breach such a site so easily will surely have piqued the interest of far more nefarious actors."

"Others include Christopher Pohlhaus, who served four years in the Marine Corps before moving to Maine with the dream of somehow turning it into an all-white ethnostate. Pohlhaus accompanied NSC-131 at an October 2022 protest in Lewiston aimed at the city’s sizable Somali community. In one video, published by Pohlhaus on Telegram and captured by the New York-based Counter Extremism Project, the veteran — who had moved to Maine less than a year earlier — demands the East African immigrants — who have lived in Maine for decades — leave 'my state.'"

"Lega Nord first rose to prominence in 2018, leaning hard on 'policies of anti-immigration and "Italians First,"' according to The Counter Extremism Project. The group is known for targeting immigrants, Southern Italians, LGBTQ+ citizens, the Roma community, and for its persistent elitism over non-Northern groups. The political party’s fascist ties are of particular concern among Italian citizens, whose rejection of fascism is woven deep into their culture and history."

"Over the last year, four United Nations agencies have partnered with and accepted $7 million from the terrorism-affiliated NGO Qatar Charity. According to the Counter Extremism Project (that maintains databases on extremist groups, their ideology, leaders, history, financing, violent activities, tactics, and rhetoric), the Qatar Charity is a member charity of the Union of Good network."

"Counter Extremism Project analyst Josh Fisher-Birch says that Mason's frantic response to the cell's attacks shows he's worried about being perceived as soft."
