When Haider Semaisim works on the federally mandated database of global incidents of terrorism with ������’s Schar School of Policy and Government, he does so with pride. It is not only an educational and professional endeavor, he said. “It’s personal.”

To defend against terrorism, you have to understand it. Thanks to more than a dozen students, alumni and faculty at ������ working on a digital terrorism database, everyone from policy makers to researchers around the world will be a step closer to that goal.
