Terrorism in the News

Swann, Steve. “Islamist Terror and the Complex Legal Battle.” BBC News, BBC, 7 July 2017, www.bbc.com/news/uk-40355492

This article goes into depth about the way UK authorities prosecute suspected Islamic fighters living in their cities. This is an incredibly difficult task, as one must discern from many different situations. One described in the article include everything from a young man traveling to Syria to receive jihadist training to a Turkish political activist handing out political magazines. The focus of this article truly is the many different ways the IS draws in its supports, not by brainwashing, but by connecting them to part of something bigger, then having them carry out their wills wherever they live and whoever they are.
