Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler of the international nonprofit research organization Counter Extremism Project considers it extremely unlikely that US authorities failed to notice that the server was located in the United States. He suspects that US authorities want to keep an eye on the server and are therefore allowing everything to continue running, "because with an American server, access is guaranteed. That wouldn't be the case if it were a company based in China, Russia, or anywhere else in the world."

CEP Senior Advisor Edmund Fitton-Brown interviewed: “Bill is joined by Caleb Weiss and Edmund Fitton-Brown to discuss the latest UN Sanctions Monitoring Team report on the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda that was released this week.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "The Washington Post reported this week that the Islamic State terror group “has regrouped in Somalia — and has global ambitions.”

On this week’s edition of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green,” Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, former U.N. coordinator for the U.N.’s al-Qaida, Taliban, ISIS monitoring groups, says this has been in the works since 2021."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: "A dangerous cocktail of indifference and complacency enabled al-Qaeda to evolve from a shadowy fringe network in the early 1990s into one of the most destructive and infamous terrorist organizations the world has ever known. Early warning signs – including attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa and on the USS Cole – were dismissed as distant dangers, failing to provoke a coordinated decisive response in Western capitals. This complacency paved the way for the tragedy of 9/11. As the several attacks in Europe and the recent tragedy in New Orleans have shown, history is starting to repeat itself, except now the scale of the problem is larger, the geography more expansive and the consequences equally dire."
