About MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM)

Top Story (in today's Daily Report)

From the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI)

MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) scrutinizes Islamist terrorism worldwide, with a special focus on the Arab world, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. By monitoring strategic, tactical, ideological, military, and conventional and non-conventional threats to public safety and security, both imminent and potential, and to crucial interests and assets of states targeted by terrorism, it enables those under threat to effectively address and confront these threats. The JTTM focuses on threats posed by independent terror organizations as well as by state-sponsored terrorism.

JTTM translations and analysis feature material from sources monitored around the clock, including printed media, visual media, audio media, and online media (i.e., the 100 most important Islamist sites and blogs). JTTM content focuses on threats to Western strategic and economic interests, including "electronic jihad," such as attacks on databases, banking systems, and online retailers.

Content also covers threats to Western military forces worldwide, development of jihadists' military and technological knowhow, new ideological trends and major ideological debates within the jihadist camp, the global jihad network, and news from the variou jihad fronts.

MEMRI offers tiered subscription plans with varying rates for individuals, military, government, non-profit organizations, libraries, academia, contractors, and media.

January 9, Stars and Stripes – (International) Group: Internet posts indicate threat to Navy in Persian Gulf. Messages posted recently by prominent contributors to jihadist Web sites are seeking specific information on U.S. military targets in hopes of carrying out an attack on Navy ships in the Persian Gulf, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). One post on the jihadi forum Al-Falluja calls for information such as the “name of the particular naval unit to be targeted, its exact location, the number of troops on board the warship and their ranks, familial status, where their families live, the type of weapons the warship carries…and the number of nuclear bombs onboard,” reads a report compiled by MEMRI. “The postings that have come out recently are from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula…from some of their leaders and some of the main people and…head moderators,” MEMRI’s executive director said. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service warned U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/5th Fleet of the threats on December 31, said a Navy spokesman. Citing security reasons, he declined to say whether the Navy changed any force-protection measures or policies or tactics as a result of the threats. It was the specificity and the call for personal familial information that led NCIS to caution 5th Fleet, a Navy official said. A December 30 Al-Falluja post called for a gathering of intelligence on U.S. Navy targets. Included on the post were diagrams and a dated picture of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. The photos, however, are from open-source Web sites, said MEMRI’s executive director, and easily attainable. “Anyone who thinks our enemies don’t monitor what our sailors, families and commands are doing via the Internet and social media had better open their eyes,” wrote a master chief petty officer in a message posted Wednesday on the Navy’s Web site. “These sites are great for networking, getting the word out and talking about some of our most important family readiness issues, but our sailors and their loved ones have to be careful with what they say and what they reveal about themselves, their families or their commands.”
