The articles of this edition of the CTC Sentinel focus on 1) Basil Hassan, a radicalized Danish engineering graduate who was instrumental in furthering the so-called Islamic State’s (IS) drone-warfare capabilities; 2) how IS has recovered from its territorial defeats since 2017 to mount a strong and sustained resurgence as an insurgent force inside Iraq; 3) the 2017 suicide bombing attack at the Manchester Arena in the UK and what it highlights about British-Libyan jihadi connections; and 4) Iranian proxies in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
