My Firefox tabs are buckling under a pile of first-class terrorism analysis, so, in the spirit of international co-operation, I thought I’d share:
“The Coming Urban Terror” — John Robb’s prophetic 2007 City Journal article on how the fabric of a modern metropolis unravels.
“Al Qaida’s strategy to puncture the war on terror” — A thoughtful new piece from ORF’s Wilson John.
“In Just Minutes, Mumbai Was Under Siege” — An excellent minute-by-minute walkthrough by Washington Post’s Emily Wax.
“How Gadgets Helped Mumbai Attackers” — A technology rundown by the war geeks of Wired’s Danger Room.
“The lessons of Mumbai” — Paul Rogers points out that hitting soft targets is hardly an innovation.
“World at Risk” — The Report of the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism. (Jeffrey Lewis’s critique is here.)
“Lessons from Mumbai” — Bruce Schneier says the attacks were surprisingly ineffective.
“LeT’s Not Jump the Gun” — At CJR, Mr. Foust talks like me, but better.
India’s Naxalite Rage — A wildly imaginative security blog by Shlok Vaidya.
Think Tank — The New Yorker’s Steve Coll recalls his encounter with LeT.
