Countering Terrorist Mobility: Shaping an Operational Strategy
By Susan Ginsburg

Transnational travel and other types of movements are some of the most important tools terrorists use. Ms. Ginsburg's report provides a careful and illuminating examination of the role and importance of terrorist mobility, and of the strategies required to track, detect and deter terrorist travel, entry, and residence as part of an effective US counterterrorism program. Her report was released on the same day the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) was due to submit to Congress its "strategy for combining terrorist travel intelligence, operations, and law enforcement into a coherent effort to intercept terrorists, find terrorist travel facilitators, and constrain terrorist mobility domestically and internationally."
