With more than 35 years experience of jihadist activism, Abu Mus'ab al-Suri remains the foremost theoretician in the global jihadist movement today, despite his capture in Pakistan in late 2005. This book includes a translation of two key chapters from al-Suri's seminal work "The Global Islamic Resistance Call".

Drawing upon research and methods outside the traditional focus, and by taking both a theoretical approach and a practical predictive perspective, this book delivers a fresh contribution to terrorism studies. It shows us that while predicting terrorism is a highly speculative business, there are ways of identifying certain long-term causes.
