Hmmm. I guess the easiest way to be the world's foremost authority on a shadowy terrorist organization is to start your own, join it, and then write about yourself.
It sure beats having to infiltrate a group the old-fashioned way, and hey, who really wants to get beheaded by dangerous terrorists anyway?
It's hard to believe the government actually pays them for this silliness. Rita Katz is not just a nice Jewish lady, she also sold a counter-terrorist novel under the name of "anonymous" and claims to infiltrate Al Qaida on a regular basis in order to get copies of Bin Laden's upcoming videos before anyone else does. Golly gee. Amazing!
And who is this Evan Kohlmann clown?
Look Mom, when I slick back my hair and put on a big beard, I look just like a terrorist!"

Should have called it Kohlmann on Kohlmann, or Rita Katz's funniest homemade terrorist videos.

Anatomy of a Modern Homegrown Terror Cell: Aabid Khan et al.
The NEFA Foundation has published a new report by NEFA Senior Investigator Evan Kohlmann titled "Anatomy of a Modern Homegrown Terror Cell." The report focuses on the recent criminal trial of Aabid Hussain Khan at the Blackfriars Crown Court in London,
as told through the
actual evidence seized by U.K. authorities and the
detailed testimony of Khan himself. According to Karen Jones, the reviewing lawyer in the case from the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service, "The evidence showed Khan was a committed and active supporter of Al-Qaida ideology? He preyed on vulnerable young people and turned them into recruits to his cause, using internet chat to lure them in then incite them to fight. He arranged their Pakistan for terrorism training, and talked about a 'worldwide battle.'"

The Terrorist Hunter Speaks
An amazing story of an Iraqi Jew at the heart of dismantling terrorism.
This spring, Harpercollins released
Terrorist Hunter: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Went Undercover to Infiltrate the Radical Islamic Groups Operating in America. The author was “Anonymous” -- the reason for her shielded identity obvious from the subtitle. Just prior to the book’s release, 60 Minutes did a segment on the book, with “Anonymous,” going into some alleged terror fronts the author had found in the U.S., among other things. In a subsequent lawsuit filed by some of those accused groups,
Anonymous was revealed as Rita Katz, director of the Site Institute, an international terrorist-investigation and information group. (Katz has written for NRO, here and here and here.) Katz, born an Iraqi Jew, recently talked to NRO about her book, the lawsuit, the war on terror, Iraq, and her terrifying job, among other things.
