Katherine Zimmerman, Research Fellow, discusses the presence of British aircrafts in Iraq on CNN's 'New Day Weekend.'

Eight U.S. strikes targeted the Khorasan group west of Aleppo in Syria on September 22. The Pentagon confirmed that the Khorasan group, which is tied to al Qaeda, was "planning imminent attacks" against targets that included the U.S. homeland. The al Qaeda threat growing in Syria is now realized.

President Obama strategy's against the Islamic State is based on what the U.S. is doing in Yemen, combining targeted airstrikes with support for a local partner, a counterterrorism strategy which Obama claims has been successful and has made the U.S. safer. Unfortunately, those claims are not accurate.

President Obama held up America's strategy in Yemen as a model for the counterterrorism strategy he intends to pursue in Iraq and Syria. By doing so, he committed to a strategy of targeting terrorists from the air and supporting local security forces in their counterterrorism fight.

Senior Critical Threats Analyst Katherine Zimmerman describes how militant troops such as Al Qaeda have been innovative in designing undetectable bombs.

 Senior Critical Threats Analyst Katherine Zimmerman discusses the latest developments regarding ISIS and President Obama's upcoming presentation of his strategical plan with congress on Fox Business Network's 'Opening Bell'. 

The Islamic State's success is energizing the entire global jihadist movement, including al Qaeda, to compete with one another in violent conquest and terror. The U.S. must act decisively against the Islamic State. Waiting for it to try to attack the U.S. homeland, as some suggest, would be irresponsible folly. 

The horrific images and story of 14 murdered soldiers that came out of Yemen on August 8 pale in comparison to those coming from Iraq and Syria. Yet they may presage the emergence of a renewed threat from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) that the U.S and Yemen are ill-prepared to handle.
