Technology and Terrorism: Combating Jihadist Terror - Series 2 - Episode 12

In this episode of the Combating Jihadist Terror podcast Dr Anthony Richards, COJIT’s editorial director, talks to Raffaello Pantucci, Senior Fellow in the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, London. Dr Richards and Mr Pantucci examine the nature, severity, and sophistication of the current terrorist threat – including the implications for the use of modern technology – in future terrorist attacks, with Mr Pantucci stressing his concerns about possible future lone actor terrorists making use of technology and the Internet. Finally, we hear about Mr Pantucci’s latest research in his recent paper for the European Institute for Counter-Terrorism and Conflict Prevention (EICTP) on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on transnational terrorism.
