In this episode of The World of Intelligence, I sit down with Mina al-Lami, the head of the BBC Monitoring's Jihadist Media Team, to delve into the evolving landscape of jihadist online media. Mina shares her unique insights into how jihadist groups have adapted their communication strategies from early forums to the current dominance of platforms like Telegram. We discuss the implications of online crackdowns and the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between jihadists and technology companies. Mina also reflects on her personal journey into this critical field, shaped by her experiences during the Iraq War. Join us for a compelling conversation that explores the intersection of media, technology, and extremism in today's world.
