The Jihadists’ Revolt Against Al Qaeda

In May, terrorism experts Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank released an article titled, “The Unraveling: The jihadist revolt against bin Laden.” The article was republished in media outlets around the world and became the subject for discussions on the current state and future of Al Qaeda. In this panel discussion, Messrs. Bergen and Cruickshank will discuss their continued research into the issue, with additional perspectives from panelists Contribuing Expert Evan Kohlmann and Stephen Coughlin and special guest commentator Maajid Nawaz.

This event is co-sponsored by New America Foundation and The Counterterrorism Foundation.

(EDIT, Sept. 16: Stephen Coughlin cannot participate due to a scheduling conflict.)
