In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Trèbes, France on March 23, many aspects of the attack and the ensuing investigation led to a variety of erroneous comments and numerous questions. As many of those comments and questions were addressed to MOSECON, we will give some answers here, hoping that they can provide a degree of understanding surrounding this attack.
It is and will be one of the hottest topics in the field of security in 2018: Should foreign fighters – especially those who pledged allegiance to ISIS – be allowed to return to their home countries? Yan St-Pierre explains the pros, cons & risks and gives his advice.
Yan St-Pierre discusses whether the Hamburg knife attack can be classified as terrorism or not and gives the pros and cons of labelling an attack.

2@MOSECON_Yan We’ve had this conversation just this morning. I don’t know where we should place the cursor on long and short sentences, but considering the offences for which Khan was sentenced, it merits review.

Die großen Bedenken über die Freilassung der "ersten Welle" von Terroristen mit kurzen Haftstrafen zu Beginn dieses Jahrzehnts scheinen berechtigt zu sein. https://twitter.com/MOSECON_Yan/status/1200686344579760128
The massive concerns about the "first wave" of release of terrorists convicted to short sentences at the beginning of the decade appears to be justified.
Many of those sentences are coming to end in the 2018-2020 period. https://twitter.com/MiglioreJAM/status/1200669373251358720
