Sat 06 Jun 2007The war on online terrorTerror:The Institute of European Affairs (IEA) is a policy research institute based in Dublin and Brussels. In 2006, the IEA identified a number of key themes for priority research, including counter-terrorism, immigration and integration. Arising from this research focus, Johnny Ryan, the IEA's senior researcher in Dublin, struck a rich seam of data linking all three themes by means of the internet. The results of Ryan's researches are neatly summarised in the IEA-published work, Countering Militant Islamist Radicalisation on the Internet.
