Global jihad
Description
To better understand the forces behind Islamic terrorism, students need to look beyond the Middle East. This ABC News program examines the rise of al Qaeda-style fundamentalism in Southeast Asia, the institutions that support it, and the threats to America that it represents. Investigating the organization known as Jemaah Islamiyah-and an Indonesian boarding school that is, essentially, the group's West Point-the video sorts through one of the most troubling paradoxes of the war on terror: how militant Islam appears to be supported by a unified global network while regional and national groups carry out their own, independent brands of jihad.
