2025 began with a tragic, ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans that serves as a disturbing reminder of the enduring terrorism threat both at home and abroad. Join Jack and Julia as we discuss the evolution of terrorism over the past several decades, and what we should be watching out for today. On this episode, we’ll consider:
- How the threat to the homeland has evolved since 9/11, and the role of US agencies and citizens in advancing our collective security
- The rise and threat of ISIS-K-- the ISIS affiliate group based in Afghanistan that was responsible for the most significant terrorist attacks of 2024
- The differences between lone wolf and coordinated attacks and how the two are connected through global events and borderless ideologies
