In this episode featuring Professor Daniel Byman, we discuss and compare the threat of foreign fighters returning to their countries of origin versus that of so-called “home-grown” terrorist actors. We cover not just the threats that each group presents but also the mitigating factors - or why the perceived threat may be exaggerated. We also discuss Prof. Byman’s MOOC on Terrorism and Counterterrorism - a free, virtual classroom featuring many of SSP’s most distinguished faculty members - hosted on edx.org. Here's a link to Prof. Byman's introductory and full-length courses: https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=terrorism
