Foreign Affairs Committee continues inquiry into UK's counter-terrorism policy
The first panel discusses the factors informing recruitment and motivations behind the decision to join jihadist terror groups, with Aimen Dean, Co-Founder and Director of Operations at Cruickshank and Dean Global Intelligence giving evidence.
The Committee also explores how al-Qaeda has evolved in the face of two decades of Western counter-terrorism pressure and the emergence of Daesh. Questions are likely to also focus on online radicalisation and the use of proxies by states in the Middle East.
Meeting details
Alexander Evans, Professor of Public Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science and former HM High Representative to India and Pakistan will give evidence. The second panel is likely to cover the threat posed by groups such as ISIS-K and the threats emanating from Central Asian countries, such as Tajikistan. The panel is likely to also explore how the UK works with allies to counter terrorism multilaterally.
