What could persuade someone to leave a comparatively wealthy
country in the Western Hemisphere to fight and die in the hellhole
of the Islamic State? That’s exactly what happened in the unlikely
setting of Trinidad and Tobago. Arthur Snell pieces together an
astonishing story of how radicalisation is continuing in unexpected
places around the world – how jihad leaders learned from the
experts in global expansion, the fast food giants – and how
jihad has found its mirror in QAnon. How do we fight terror when
global jihad has gone local? We're putting out irregular war
bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. Help
our work, and shape the next full series of Doomsday Watch, by

had never driven a tanker before were suddenly sending me pictures
where they were holding up machine guns.” – Asha Javeed “These
threats have grown out of the very measures that were supposed to
contain them.” – Arthur Snell “The US invasion of Iraq was the most
severe strategic misjudgment since Hitler decided to invade
Russia.” – David Kilcullen “Jihad has become a global product
that adapts to its surroundings. Think of it as fast food.” –
Arthur Snell “When I was in Iraq during the insurgency, al-Zarqawi
was the one you feared, not Bin Laden.” – Arthur Snell
