    Webinar: Jihadism at a crossroads

    When: Friday, May 29, 2020, 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. EDT

    Where: http://www.brookings.edu/events/webinar-jihadism-at-a-crossroads

    What: Although jihadist groups have gripped the world’s attention for more than 20 years, today they are no longer in the spotlight. However, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Al Shabaab remain active, and new groups have emerged. The movement as a whole is evolving, as is the threat it poses.

    On May 29, the Center for Middle East Policy will host a virtual panel event to discuss the current status of jihadist groups. The panel will feature Thomas Hegghammer, senior research fellow at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment and author of the new book, “The Caravan: Abdallah Azzam and the Rise of Global Jihad.” Other panelists will include Tricia Bacon, assistant professor at American University, and Bruce Riedel, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Brookings Senior Fellow Daniel Byman will moderate the discussion.

    Viewers may submit questions for speakers by emailing events@brookings.edu or on Twitter @BrookingsFP.
