Investigative Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Investigative Project is one of the world's largest intelligence archives on Islamist and Middle Eastern terrorist and militant groups.
It was founded in 1995 by American investigative journalist Steven Emerson. Emerson is a terrorism analyst for NBC and a leading authority on Islamist financial networks and operational structures.
Emerson set up the project after the broadcast on the U.S. Public Broadcasting Service of his award-winning documentary Jihad in America, which exposed the operations of Islamist groups in the U.S. He is the executive director of the project, which employs between two and 15 researchers.
