The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR) Press Statement 15 September 2010 The mission ofthe Institute of Terrorism Research and Response [sto identify and ‘analyze information that can be leveraged to prevent injury, oss of lfe and destruction of Property {Attines, that means providing guidance onthe pote or deadly acons. At other times, it means providing security personnei guidance regarding staff requirements for. ‘crowd control. For example, in May 2010 ITRR’s Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center (TAM-C) Informed clients of "focused anti-gay chatter among White supremacists and extremist ‘iia supporters." We noted that "Gay pide" events recently served as taaer events for | such radicals; suchas in Belarus and Slovakia, ‘Thus, the IRR briefing coricluded, "based on general analysis and Intemational case study debriefing, TAM-C analysts recommend a somewhat heightened situational ‘awareness at all such pride events.” Similarly, in January 2010, ITRR researchers identified ‘explicit cals for sabotage of ‘major facilities and murder" in "European eco-extremist and anti-capitalist ‘communications." In a separate client document; we further identified an “increasing overlap between anarchists and environmental extremists - with anarchist ‘communications often praising acts of overt eco- terrorism." We also expressed concern that such European extremist views were finding ‘echoes in North America By April 2010, a leading ideologue for the Earth First! organization issued a call for more extreme actions in the service of the environmentalist agenda. "Are we so caught up in @ cycle of civil disobedience that we can't think past it?” he asked. ITRR's analysis of the above communications said: “TAN-C recommends that security personnel responsible for mass transit, telecommunications, ports, fue! stations, coal plants, and other facilities that have been targeted by environmentalist protests in the past take immediate action to heighten situational awareness of pre-adversarial surveillance. Additionally, ‘emergency response and evacuation procedures should be reviewed. ...TAM-C analysts recommend personal situational awareness and appropriate safety Then, in July 2010 the Houston home of an oll company executive was targeted in a bombing, causing significant facial injuries to a woman who opened a booby-trapped package. In subsequent research by ITRR, it was found that anti-capitalist and environmental militants expressed satisfaction with the attack; such as, "Until we destroy ‘enough of their property to make a financial splash or start kiling their executives and decision makers and profiteers, nothing will change, (On 1 September 2010, in the latest escalation, eco-terrorist James Lee held hostages at gunpoint and threatened to detonate explosives at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Washington. Looking at the international jhadist threat, ITRR recently issued the following alert regarding the targeting of Christian-identiied assets worldwide: “Arabic language researchers of the Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center (TAM- C) have identified internal [ihadist] communications... [saying] that the ‘war is. between the church and the mosque. Go ahead you brave ones, burn the churches. Destroy their centers and don’t shame the Koran. We need to attack their churches, soldiers, and all their religious centers around the world. Just attack them all no maiter where. We won't regret our goal, no matter what."" In our review of the communication, ITRR analysts suggested: "Such a desecration titfortat may trigger a more serious worldwide campaign against Christians and Christian symbols, as well as increased targeting of Muslim symbols and mosques. Significant in this regard is that the above communications. have come at a time of heightened anger over perceived insults to Islam, Most recently (14 September 2010), it was reported that France has offically adopted legislation banning the full-face veil in public spaces.” ‘The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response is proud to provide this level of research and analysis fo our many clients. ‘And our clients agree: From a client in the energy sector: “This is a very comprehensive report - thanks for your efforts on our behalf.” From a Fortune 100 company: "Thanke for keeping ue cafe!" Itis precisely thanks to our dedication to keeping people safe that ITRR has become a trusted provider of actionable intelligence to those who need it most.
