Podcasts about counterterrorism

Caleb Weiss explains the complex counterterrorism landscape in the Horn of Africa, where al-Shabaab and ISISoperate. He details how the semi-autonomous Puntland region is rejecting Mogadishu's authority. US policy faces significant hurdles as funding for African Union missions reaches a critical crossroads. (3)

Kam Karaji, Director of Cyber Security & Risk Management at the NFL, shares what 13 years in counter-terrorism and criminal intelligence taught him about protecting high-stakes environments, and discusses how that thinking now shapes security across five countries and 70,000-person stadiums. He explains why a venue full of fans is really just a very large computer, and why the data a fan hands over the moment they buy a ticket is more time-sensitive than most people realize. Key Takeaways: How the NFL manages fan data across different legal jurisdictions, and why that data becomes time-sensitive the moment the league leaves a country Why the biggest security investment leaders should be making right now isn't in technology How a single piece of player misinformation can trigger a chain reaction from betting markets to a club's bottom line Why a stadium full of fans is really a cybersecurity problem (and what happens when that computer gets hacked) Guest Bio: Kam Karaji leads cyber security and risk management for the NFL's international programme, protecting games, venues, and people across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Before moving into the corporate world, he spent over thirteen years in law enforcement as a police officer and Bronze Commander, working in criminal intelligence, counter-terrorism and international firearms training with the UK's National Crime Agency (service that earned him gallantry recognition for the protection of the British Royal Family). Today his focus is the human side of security in an increasingly automated world. As AI reshapes how organizations assess risk, train teams, and defend themselves, Kam is interested in where the technology genuinely helps and where it quietly creates new blind spots. His guiding belief is simple: confidence without control becomes chaos, and without people, none of it works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

The murder of firebrand politician Ann Widdecombe has sent shockwaves through the British establishment, prompting fresh debate around the safety of public figures. An unapologetic straight-talking stateswoman, Widdecombe served as an MP for 23 years, and was famed for controversial outspoken views on abortion, gay rights and women's issues. Despite her divisive nature, Widdecombe managed to win fans away from the political arena thanks to a memorable run on Strictly Come Dancing and other unlikely forays into reality TV. Now, as the investigation into her murder evolves into a terrorism probe, serious questions are being asked of the authorities in Britain, not least by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who called attention to the need for more money to be spent on security for public figures just days before Widdecombe's death. On Tuesday evening, counter-terrorism police in the UK stated that the murder of Ann Widdecombe is officially recognised as a “targeted attack” while noting that it has “not been declared as a terrorist incident”. Fionnán Sheahan is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady to discuss the latest on the investigation, and to look at the sometimes contradictory life of Ann Widdecombe and an increasingly threatening climate for politicians.

//The Wire//1900Z July 14, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR IN MIDDLE EAST REMAINS HOT WITH USA AND IRAN EXCHANGING HEAVY FIRE OVERNIGHT. NEW YORK TIMES JOURNALISTS ISSUED SUBPOENAS REGARDING THEIR REPORTING ON AIR FORCE ONE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continued to escalate overnight, with the attack/counterattack cycle no longer being distinguishable, as all belligerents are now attacking constantly. At least two more ships have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz since last night, and the US has continued to fly continuous sorties to strike targets within Iran. Dozens of targets were struck overnight, with CENTCOM announcing that the sorties took 5 hours to complete throughout the region. As of this morning, nearly all of the targets that have been struck have been within a few hundred yards of the Gulf, with heavy concentrations of targets being located within Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, and Jask, all of which are major naval bases. Most of the Gulf islands have also been struck, with Qeshm and Kish Islands being targeted heavily this afternoon.Conversely, Iran has conducted their own strikes in Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait. In Kuwait, Iranian forces have conducted counter-battery fire on American HIMARS missile launcher sites, with multiple ballistic missile strikes taking place at most of the US bases and missile launch sites all day.Analyst Comment: Over the past 24 hours, the war in the Middle East has returned to the level of fighting first observed during the height of the war back in March. How long this is planned to continue is unknown, but this is not a slight increase in targeting; the war appears to be fully back on once again.United Kingdom: This morning Counterterrorism police released more details regarding a high-profile murder case that took place last week. On Thursday, Ann Widdecombe was found murdered in her home in the town of Haytor in Devon. After her murder was discovered, local authorities immediately referred the case to counterterrorism, and one suspect has already been arrested in conjunction with this case. This suspect has been charged for the murder, and as of this morning terrorism offenses have been added to the list of charges.Analyst Comment: This case is noteworthy as most of the information so far indicates this was a political assassination, and the speed at which authorities have immediately declared this to be a terrorism incident is very, very unusual. Widdecombe was a former Member of Parliament, and in her later years was a familiar conservative political commentator known to weigh in on political issues throughout the nation. More details may or may not come to light in due time regarding the identity of the suspect, but due to the high-profile nature of this murder, this case will be in the headlines for a while.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Yesterday a total of five New York Times reporters have been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, to testify regarding their reporting on the alleged security breaches onboard the new Air Force One. Last week, President Trump flew to Turkey for the NATO summit on the new airframe, but during the trip, an undisclosed security issue prompted the Secret Service to switch back to the older platform.Analyst Comment: The details of exactly what the alleged crimes are, have not been disclosed. The New York Times has a history of publishing content which could lead to security issues, but in this case nothing they wrote in their original report appears to have been classified. However, they did explicitly state that they had a source who had classified knowledge of the defenses (or rather, the alleged lack of defenses) on the new Air Force One platform, which is probably why the harsh crackdown on the New York Times. They also made the claim that the new airframe has not had enough time to install the anti-missile countermeasures of the older platform, though no detail on this was provided. Regardless, talking to journalists in any capacity about any of the protection measures used by the White House is a huge no-no, and one of the most sensitive issues that always results in a very heavy-handed response.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the war in the Persian Gulf rages on, concerns are growing regarding the apparent widening of the war to include the Red Sea region. The mutual targeting between the Saudis and the Houthis in Yemen has continued to some degree, though it's too soon to tell if either party is committed to turning this into a more protracted fight. If that is the chosen course of action, the situation is likely to get very serious.While the Strait of Hormuz remains a hot warzone that has restricted the flow of about 20 million barrels per day out of the region, the Saudi East-West Pipeline system has been working to reduce this deficit by pumping roughly 7 million barrels per day during most of this conflict. This has eased the burden of Hormuz being cut off, and has been one of the main factors keeping oil from reaching $200 per barrel. However, this pipeline runs from the Gulf, across the desert, before terminating in Yanbu at a major oil export terminal. This terminal....is within missile range of the Houthis. Somewhat interestingly, there are also very little air defenses in the southern regions of Saudi Arabia despite the Saudis fighting the Houthis for a couple of decades at this point; nearly all missile defenses are on the northern coastline or in the vicinity of American bases. So far during this conflict, the Iranians have successfully struck the Yanbu oil terminal using extremely long-range (and slow-flying) drones. The Houthis have a much higher chance of success in threatening Yanbu, and if they are able to strike this facility, the global oil crisis will go from worse to worst.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Today, counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into Ann Widdecombe's death. A 28-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.The investigation was previously being handled by Devon and Cornwall police who had previously said there was "nothing to suggest" the murder was politically motivated. Counter terrorism Policing South East said the change had come after “new information and evidence has come to light during what has been a dynamic and complex investigation”.Adam, Chris and Danny Shaw, policing and criminal justice commentator, discuss what we know so far.

SO WAS IT TERROR? Ann Widdecombe Murder | What Now For Britain?  LIVE #AnnWiddecombe #NigelFarage #Terror #CounterTerrorism #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live  BREAKING NEWS: Counter Terrorism Police have now taken over the investigation into the brutal murder of Ann Widdecombe.  Only days ago, Nigel Farage argued that there were serious questions surrounding Ann's death and warned against dismissing the possibility of a politically motivated attack. His comments sparked fierce criticism from politicians, police figures and much of the mainstream media, who accused him of jumping to conclusions while detectives urged restraint.  Now everything has changed. Counter Terrorism officers are leading the investigation after what police describe as "new evidence", with the main suspect having been re-arrested under terrorism legislation while detectives pursue multiple lines of enquiry. So tonight we ask: Was Nigel Farage right to raise concerns over the weekend? Does today's dramatic development change the political debate? What exactly does Counter Terrorism taking charge mean? And what does this horrific murder say about the safety of politicians, the rest of us and the state of Britain today? We'll separate fact from speculation, examine the latest developments and ask whether our political culture has become dangerously toxic. We'll also discuss what this means for Reform UK, for free speech and for public confidence in policing and national security.

Egypt's Sa'ka Forces, whose name translates to Thunderbolt, are one of the most battle tested special operations units in the Middle East, forged through decades of desert warfare, urban combat, and counterterrorism operations most people have never heard of. This episode breaks down how a unit born out of humiliating defeat in 1967 rebuilt itself into a force capable of executing high risk operations across some of the most hostile terrain on earth. We get into selection, doctrine, and the operational mindset that separates elite units like Sa'ka from conventional forces. Military, Society, History, True Crime, International Affairs, Government

Counter-terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of the former MP and Reform spokesperson Ann Widdecombe in light of “new information and evidence”.Joining Ciara to discuss further is Enda Brady, London-based TRT World Presenter.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews, Ashley Stahl, founder of Wise Whisper Agency, shares her journey from working in national security and counterterrorism to building a thriving speaking and coaching business. She reveals how her TEDx talks, including one with over 10 million views and ranked among the Top 100 TED Talks, transformed her career and inspired her to help others craft powerful talks. Ashley discusses scaling Wise Whisper Agency from a small team to around 25 people and growing revenue from $700K in its first year to an expected $4–5M, while emphasizing the challenges of building a sales team, hiring with integrity, and creating a soulful company culture. The conversation is packed with insights on leadership, personal growth, resilience, and the importance of helping people share ideas that can genuinely change lives. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the hardest thing about growing a small business is managing your energy. She explains that there are days when you work incredibly hard and wonder how you'll do it all again tomorrow, but what keeps her going is her deep belief in Wise Whisper Agency, the impact it has on helping people craft powerful talks, and the mission of getting their ideas onto major stages, including TEDx. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ashley Stahl shares that it's been a while since she read a traditional business book, but if she had to name one influence, she would point to Alex Hormozi's work. She says she loves his approach because it's "all protein and no fat," meaning he gets straight to the tactical, practical advice without unnecessary fluff, and she finds that direct, actionable style especially valuable for building and growing a business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that one of her favorite podcasts for professional development is Diary of a CEO. She says host Steven Bartlett does an excellent job interviewing remarkable people and exploring topics with a level of depth that many other shows don't, making it a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and anyone looking to grow a small business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the one tool she would most strongly recommend for growing a small business is paid advertising. She believes that many entrepreneurs are held back by fear of running ads, but once you learn how to use them effectively, paid ads can become a powerful and scalable way to consistently attract leads, grow revenue, and expand your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Ashley Stahl shares that if she could go back to day one of starting out in business, she would tell herself that the journey will become much bigger than she ever imagined. She says that building a business is about far more than making money or helping people; it's ultimately a path of personal growth that teaches you how capable, resilient, and powerful you truly are.  Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

In the aftermath of an act of public violence, attention often turns to a document. Sometimes it's a letter, a blog post, or a video, that gets referred to as a manifesto.Very quickly the public coalesces around these documents. Journalists struggle to consider what to print, authorities debate whether they should be released, and researchers scour them for clues.Following the recent incel attack in Montreal, we engage in these questions, and more. What ingredients make up a manifesto? What are they designed to accomplish? And what responsibility do the rest of us have when confronted with one?Today, we're joined by J.M. Berger, author of several books including “Extremism.' He's also a senior research fellow for the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.

and this is deeply concerning...

A wave of antisemitic terror swept across Western Europe this spring — and one man appears to have been behind it all. This week, Yonit and Jonathan hear the full, remarkable story as they sit down with Jason Burke, The Guardian's international security correspondent and terrorism expert. He describes how a single Iraqi-Iranian dual national is accused of leveraging both social media and teenage criminals to orchestrate what looked like a series of scattered attacks but was, in fact, a coordinated proxy campaign. And they discuss the broader questions: has the long arm of Iranian terror been constrained at all by US-Israeli military action? Did October 7th represent a strategic break from Iran's usual playbook — or was it a tactical aberration? And as the 50th anniversary of the raid on Entebbe approaches, was that operation a turning point in the long history of global terrorism - and what can be done now to beat back the menace of terror?   00:00 Introduction to Jason Burke and His Work 02:23 Profile of Mohammed Bakr Saad, Al-Sadi 05:13 Al-Sadi's Operations and Recruitment Methods 07:50 The Arrest of Al-Sadi and His Plans in the US 12:42 Impact of Al-Sadi's Arrest on Terror Operations 15:26 October 7th: An Evolution or Aberration in Terrorism? 19:06 The Role of Qatar in Terror Financing 22:55 Countering Terrorism: Challenges and Strategies 26:05 The Significance of the Entebbe Raid 30:03 Convergence of Leftist and Islamist Terrorism 33:01 The Evolution of Terrorism and Its Future  

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Trump's Senior Director for Counterterrorism, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, for a conversation on the recent Iran deal. We examine Trump's controversial Iran strategy, the future of the Iranian regime, Operation Midnight Hammer, the legacy of Obama's nuclear deal, and whether the West has missed its best opportunity to destroy Iran's "Ring of Fire." Gorka explains why he believes the choice now rests entirely with Tehran, and why failure to abandon its nuclear ambitions could bring devastating consequences.The conversation also explores Britain's counterterrorism strategy, mass migration, jihadism, free speech, political violence, and the growing crisis of confidence across the West. Gorka argues that Western leaders have become too afraid to confront the ideological roots of Islamist extremism, while allowing political correctness to undermine national security.We discuss NATO, Europe, Trump's foreign policy, America's role on the world stage, and why Gorka believes the survival of Western civilisation depends on leaders who are prepared to defend its values.Our show is independently supported by you, consider signing up to our substack to get added benefits like ad-free and extended episodes here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/Chapters 00:00 Introduction02:22 Why This Isn't Obama's Nuclear Deal06:59 Did America Win The Iran War?08:39 Can Iran Be Trusted?12:38 Why Gorka Says: “Trust Trump”20:06 Will This Become Another Forever War?25:07 Who Really Started The Iran War?30:30 Is Israel Being Left Behind?34:27 Britain's Crisis Of Confidence41:48 Islamism, Terrorism & The West's Biggest Threats48:28 Final Thoughts

How Iran uses proxies, shadow banking and criminal cut-outs to fund external operations and evade sanctions. Iranian-linked plots, surveillance activity and intimidation operations are drawing growing concern across Europe. But behind these activities sits a wider financial and logistical architecture that allows Tehran and its proxies to move money, evade sanctions and support operations abroad. In this episode of the Suspicious Transaction Report, Kinga Redlowska is joined by Matthew Levitt, Director of the Reinhard Programme on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, to examine how Iran's external operations are evolving and what this means for Europe. They discuss the use of criminal intermediaries, online recruitment and low-cost 'gig economy' tasking; the role of oil revenues, front companies and shadow banking in financing Iran's proxies; and the connections between sanctions evasion, procurement networks and operational activity. The conversation also considers Europe's response, the need to close gaps between counterterrorism, counterintelligence and organised crime investigations, and why stronger political will, enforcement capacity and cross-border cooperation will be essential as Iran's networks become more global, flexible and difficult to disrupt.

My guest today is Cait Conley. Cait is running for Congress in NY District 17, determined to stop Donald Trump and cowards like Mike Lawler who enable him. Cait was born and raised in the Hudson Valley, graduated at the top of her class at West Point, served 16 years as an Army officer, and broke barriers as one of the first and only women in Special Operations leadership and was awarded three Bronze Stars. Cait's career as a public servant continued at home, protecting security and democracy while serving as Director of Counter-Terrorism on the National Security Council at the White House. She later helped safeguard our critical infrastructure and election systems at CISA, defending our democracy by standing up directly to Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was stolen.  Cait is dedicated to bringing dignity and courage back to Congress. She is fighting to lower costs, clean up corruption, reign in ICE, address climate change as a national security crisis, protect our elections and stop Trumps' unlawful and authoritarian agenda. I am impressed with her strength, courage and proven leadership and have been motivated to have as many people as possible hear from Cait directly, so they can make an informed decision when voting in the primary. Early voting started June 13th and the primary is Tuesday, June 23rd. This is a critical election, so please spread the word and get out and vote!  Check out the Show Notes for Cait's conversation with Ali Velshi on MSNOW as well as Cait's website.

As the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches, emergency managers, stadium operators, law enforcement, hospitals, transportation agencies, airports, and public safety leaders are entering a critical final phase of readiness. In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, John Scardena breaks down the six core pillars of Dynamic Population (DyPop) emergency management planning and response that every host city, venue, and public safety organization should be focusing on before major global events.Drawing from real-world experience supporting stadiums, large-scale events, emergency services, and national preparedness initiatives, this episode explores how emergency management must move beyond paperwork and become an integrated operational support function for those protecting life, property, and continuity of operations during high-consequence events.Topics include mass care and reunification planning, multilingual emergency communications, public information and public relations coordination, rumor control, counter-terrorism readiness, CBRNe response considerations, drone threats, situational awareness, human trafficking awareness, evacuation procedures, crowd behavior analysis, medical transport coordination, triage planning, hospital surge coordination, transportation disruptions, and emergency coordination between stadiums and cities.This episode also highlights the importance of collaboration between emergency managers, law enforcement, fire services, hospitals, transit systems, organized fan groups, and federal partners including the FBI, Secret Service, National Guard, and emergency response agencies supporting the FIFA World Cup and other mega-events. Listeners will gain practical insights into:FIFA World Cup emergency preparedness Stadium emergency management best practices Dynamic population response planning Emergency evacuation coordination Public safety and crowd management Mass casualty incident preparedness Medical surge and triage operations Human trafficking awareness during large events Drone and counter-UAS security concerns Public information officer (PIO) coordination Crisis communications and rumor control Stadium security and situational awareness Emergency management leadership during major events Multi-agency coordination for mega-events Transportation and transit disruption planning Cultural considerations during international sporting events Whether you are preparing for the FIFA World Cup, Olympics, Super Bowl, concerts, conventions, or other large-scale gatherings, this episode provides actionable emergency management strategies to help communities improve readiness, strengthen coordination, and protect the public during complex events involving dynamic populations.
