Hitting them on their own turf

CSCC head Alberto Fernandez explaining on counter messaging and response during the interview yesterday.

THE war on terrorism no longer just involves police and military intervention. In recent years, it has extended to the social media where militant groups are recruiting members, often targeting the younger generation.

In the United States, the Centre for Strategic Counter-terrorism Communications (CSCC) was established in 2010 to check the appeal of violent extremism by hitting cyber terrorists on their own platform.
