The "Jihad 2.0 - from virtual to physical" workshop is about knowing your enemy, the first step towards "connecting the dots" and ultimately - saving lives. It highlights the need to be alert to all stages of the Jihadi threat lifecycle, at all levels, utilizing a wide variety of information sources fused into a complete threat analysis. It is therefore highly relevant to all members of the counter-terrorism community who wish to acquire, and effectively apply, the innovative counter-measures that are required in order to win the war on terror.
