A new New York Times article, written by Rukmini Callimachi, cites two CTC Sentinel pieces by longtime contributors Hassan Hassan and Michael Knights. The Times article, “Described as Defeated, Islamic State Punches Back With Guerrilla Tactics,” references Hassan’s December 2017 Sentinel piece on the Islamic State’s return to insurgency and Knights’ metrics-based analysis of Islamic State attacks in Iraq in the December 2018 issue of the CTC Sentinel. Additionally, the New York Times article quotes a former director of research at the CTC Brian Fishman.
