Preparing to Counter ISIS 2.0: European CT Efforts Since Charlie Hebdo

In its latest report on the Islamic State, the UN warned of the looming need to contend with “ISIS 2.0,“ referring to the terrorist threat the group will pose even after its territorial defeats in Iraq and Syria. ISIS has reportedly stashed money in investments around the region and made preparations to continue carrying out terrorist attacks worldwide.

To discuss these and other questions, The Washington Institute hosted a Policy Forum with Gilles de Kerchove, the latest installment in its long-running Stein Counterterrorism Lecture Series.
