Hamza bin Laden is alive.

And yesterday, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, he made sure the world knew it. Ask yourself WHY. He had every advantage to stay hidden. He chose to step into our light.

The threat did not disappear. It evolved. No one is coming to save you. And we cannot assume the next attack, which is trending toward being far larger than 9/11, will give us the warning we wish we had.

Prepare now. Looking backward is over. Please do it for the people you love. Because they are counting on you. We are all counting on you.

Know what you would do. Know where your family would go. Know how you would protect the people standing next to you. Know if your community is resilient.

We cannot choose when the attack comes. But we can choose whether we are ready when it does. And not if, but when that moment comes, we will stand. We will protect our own. And if we must fight, we will fight.

That is what Americans do. We do not run from the darkness. We stand together to end it.

Terrorist groups partner with local and international organized crime syndicates for funding and access to territorial networks.

South Africa has become a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold.

With Qatar’s support, the Islamist network has gained influence over South African religious institutions, charities, politicians and foreign policy.

Here’s how it happened.

Good explanation on how to identify hidden assets and sources of wealth during a lifestyle audit.

In our experience the children of public officials are lately the beneficiaries of corruption and money laundering.

Who did the U.S. just kill in Syria?

The answer matters.

On June 19, U.S. forces conducted a precision airstrike in northwest Syria that killed Ali Husayn al-‘Ulaywi, a senior ISIS leader who served as the military and operational commander of ISIS’s Syrian branch in Aleppo Province.

He was not just another ISIS fighter. Al-‘Ulaywi was responsible for military operations, expansion efforts, and managing a major financial network for ISIS Syria that generated revenue through oil theft and the illegal extraction of petroleum resources.

His importance becomes even clearer when looking at ISIS’s efforts to rebuild. Following the January 2026 release and escape of ISIS prisoners from al-Shaddadi Prison in Syria, more than 60 of those escapees had joined al-‘Ulaywi’s network in Aleppo, where he was actively working to expand ISIS’s presence.

His background also highlights the complexity of the extremist landscape in Syria. Before joining ISIS, al-‘Ulaywi was a member of al-Qaeda’s affiliate Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group that now governs Syria. He later switched allegiance to ISIS and rose to become the group’s military commander in Aleppo.

This is why counterterrorism requires more than tracking territory. ISIS lost its caliphate, but the networks, financing, leadership pipelines, and extremist ideology never disappeared. Terrorist organizations adapt. They rebuild. They wait. Knowing the enemy is how you stop the next attack.

🇿🇦 An ISIS-linked gang has been convicted in South Africa after torturing and murdering British botanists Rod and Rachel Saunders before throwing their bodies into a river where crocodiles fed on their remains.

The gang then stole the couple’s money, spending around £37,000, and were later found with ISIS material and a flag at their home.

All three were convicted of murder, kidnapping, robbery and theft.
