European Jihadists in Afghanistan and Pakistan: The Case of the Germans in Waziristan
Practical information
In recent years, dozens of Europeans have travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan to receive training and carry out jihad. Among them, Yassin Musharbash has identified a quasi-“German colony”, located in Waziristan and typified by the example of Eric Breininger. Drawing on this case, Yassin Musharbash will present an analysis of recent trends in the international jihadist movement.
Yassin Musharbash is a terrorism analyst for Der Spiegel weekly political magazine and Spiegel Online. He studied Arabic and Political Sciences at the universities of Goettingen (Germany) and Bir Zeit (Palestine). His main fields of interest are online Jihadism, radicalization and ideological trends in the global Jihadist movement. His book Die neue Al-Qaida. Innenansichten eines lernenden Terrornetzwerks ("The new al-Qaida. Insight into a learning Terror Network") was published in 2006.
This seminar will be in English.
