Monthly Threat Update August 2022

Aug 31, 2022 | Islamist Terrorism, Right Wing Terrorism, Tactics & Methodologies, Threat Analysis

This month we take a look at the assassination of former Al Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and consider what this might mean for the future of the group.

We examine conviction and sentencing data from June and July for terrorism charges in Great Britain to help identify some common drivers relating to the ideologies of those charged.

Finally, we roundup the most significant terrorism-related news across advanced market countries throughout July. This includes:

    • The arrest of former Islamic State member Aine Davis in the UK.
    • Concerns over children being targeted by far-right actors online.
    • The attempted assassination of author Sir Salman Rushdie in New York.
    • The arrest of a gunman at Australia’s Canberra airport.
