Category: Terrorism

Terrorism in the twenty-first century is no longer a peripheral security concern — it is a systemic, evolving threat that operates across digital, physical, and psychological domains simultaneously. From complex coordinated attacks on critical infrastructure to lone-wolf radicalization compressed into a matter of weeks, the operational landscape facing governments, security services, and private sector organisations has fundamentally changed.

CommandEleven’s terrorism analysis is grounded in the same intelligence tradecraft that informs government and institutional decision-makers — human source networks, signals analysis, pattern recognition, and historical precedent. Our analysts track active threat actors, map organisational structures, identify radicalization pipelines, and produce threat assessments calibrated to specific geographies, target types, and attack methodologies.

This category aggregates CommandEleven’s terrorism intelligence across all vectors — domestic and foreign, state-sponsored and non-state, ideological and criminal. It covers al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and its affiliates, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Hezbollah, Hamas, and emerging threat actors that have yet to reach mainstream awareness. Readers include security professionals, government contractors, academic researchers, journalists, and informed citizens tracking threats to their communities and institutions.

If You Have Any Humanity Left

When the attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar happened, the whole country stood together and said we won’t let this happen again. 141 souls were lost that day. They were future doctors, engineers, professors, politicians, soldiers, and officers.

Pakistan’s Watershed Moment

Within days of this hideous usage of the Holy Qu’ran, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan sent a video of one of their children to the US media, reportedly Maulana Radio’s own son, to explain that this was the first of many more attacks to come against children and schools.

Good vs. Evil: Where Does America Stand?

Remembering the international outcry over the pictures that were leaked from Abu Ghraib and Bagram, the US intelligence services knew the powder keg that they were hiding from the world. They knew what they had done were crimes against humanity and no amount of verbal discourse would make this acceptable, tolerable or forgivable.
