Terrorism Literature Report

Terrorism Literature Report

(TLR) No. 11—Special Edition

19 April 2004

Published at least monthly by Interaction Systems Incorporated (ISI), the TLR presents excerpts, summaries, reviews, updates, and announcements with regard to terrorism-related journals, books, research projects, scholars, conferences, and websites. ISI prepares the unclassified TLR as well as its companion report—the weekly “Terrorism Open Source Intelligence Report” (TOSIR)—under contract for the Director of Central Intelligence’s Counterterrorist Center. The summaries and quoted excerpts in TLR issues are intended for the non-profit, background use by members of the United States intelligence and law enforcement communities in furtherance of their professional duties—and the summaries and quoted excerpts are subject to the copyright protections associated with the original sources. Please provide questions, comments, and essential elements of information to Dr. James Arnold Miller, Chairman, ISI, at isinc@mindspring.com, 703-938-1774.

Dear Colleague,

In this special issue of the TLR we present the addresses (URLs) of websites on terrorism and related topics. All links were current as of 16 April 2004. If a link doesn’t work, I suggest you try copying it and pasting it into your browser. We welcome your comments and suggestions concerning this listing which we will periodically update.

I’d like to express here my appreciation to Interaction Systems Incorporated’s Webmaster, Helen Biever, who has been diligently assisting me on this URL project and on so many other projects.

As always, best wishes concerning your vital work on behalf of counterterrorism and homeland security.

Jim Miller
