Practical Exercise Two Problem: You are part of a Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] Counterterrorism Working Group [CTWG]. The Chief of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff has asked for a complete analysis of terrorist activity in North Africa and Southwest Asia. You, as a member of that team, have been asked to develop your own policy position in those areas and present it to him by August 4, 2005. What did you discover? Directions: Students, if they select this option, are to make recommendations based upon the best possible open-source intelligence available. In order to expedite the problem, students are encouraged to use the materials found in the cybrary, and terrorist groups to help present their case to the secretary. Also, you can download the blank map of North Africa and Southwest Asia [this will take time since the file is in PDF format], which may help you focus on the respective terrorist groups found in those regions. Remember, the the honorable Michael Chertoff and the country is depending upon your analysis.
