Monitoring Jihadism Project – Information Hub

About MjP

The Monitoring Jihadism Project (MjP) is a comprehensive research initiative that meticulously monitors open-source news items and judicial sources relating to jihadist terrorism. Over the years, the MjP has evolved into an information hub that provides researchers, security professionals and institutions with reliable, continuously updated insights into jihadist activities across multiple countries.

Our team collects and analyses information on investigations, arrests, convictions, acquittals, trials, deportations and other terrorism-related developments. By integrating judicial documentation with open-source data, the MjP provides a structured, trustworthy knowledge base for anyone working on terrorism and security issues.

Mission: Keeping Professionals Informed

The mission of MjP is to keep researchers, law enforcement officers, analysts, policymakers and journalists informed about the latest developments in jihadist terrorism. We provide verified, structured and accessible information on jihadist terrorism-related events through evidence-based and open-source intelligence (OSINT) research.
