ISIL, Syria and Iraq


In an attempt to paint a more complete picture of the Islamic State (IS), this report identifies key areas where the IS has shown strength, learning, and adaptation. This report also highlights key areas of weakness, mistake, and failure. In doing so, the reader should be well aware that this product provides such an overview […]

This is the gateway to resources, research, and analysis the Combating Terrorism Center has produced over the last decade about the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS), the Islamic State (IS) or Da`ish, and its predecessors (al-Tawhid wa-al-Jihad, al-Qa`ida in Mesopotamia (AQI), Majlis Shura al-Mujahidin, Hilf al-Muttayibin and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI)). Additional CTC research and analysis about factors shaping the conflict in Iraq and Syria is also included. These resources contextualize the development of ISIL. Resources are organized into six categories: major reports, CTC Sentinel articles, CTC Perspectives, CTC commentary about the early development of AQI, declassified primary sources produced by AQI, ISI and other militant groups in Iraq, and media coverage of the CTC’s research.
