Published on Oct 31, 2017

He received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Montreal in Canada. His research is mainly focused on Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and how this originally Algerian organization became, within a matter of a few years, one of the strongest Al-Qaeda affiliates.
