Matthew Levitt Joins As Contributing Expert
By Andrew Cochran
I am very pleased that Matthew Levitt, Director of the Terrorism Studies Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is joining the blog as a Contributing Expert. Prior to joining the Institute, Mr. Levitt served as an FBI analyst in support of counterterrorism operations, with a special focus on fundraising and logistical support networks for Middle East terrorist groups. In addition, he participated as a team member in a number of crisis situations, including the terrorist threat surrounding the turn of the millennium and the September 11 attacks. Mr. Levitt earned three letters of commendation for his analytical contributions to FBI counterterrorism operations, as well as five awards in recognition of superior service rendered to the FBI. Mr. Levitt is a frequent guest on numerous TV networks. He has served as an expert witness and consulted for the Department of Justice in several terrorism cases, lectured on international terrorism on behalf of the Department of State, and testified before both the U.S. Senate and House on matters relating to international terrorism. Mr. Levitt currently serves on the Council on Foreign Relations task force on terrorist financing.
