Global Terrorism Analysis is produced by The Jamestown Foundation , Washington, D.C.

Since September 11, 2003, Jamestown has been publishing Terrorism Monitor , a bi-weekly journal providing in-depth, objective analysis on al-Qaeda and the War on Terror.

Jamestown has continually expanded on its coverage of terrorism and security issues, utilizing indigenous sources and with attention paid to frequently un-reported or under-reported topics.

Terrorism Focus began publication in August 2004 as a bi-weekly complement to Terrorism Monitor, and has since found a niche in providing timely analysis on events in global terrorism, with extensive translations and assessments of jihad on the web.
