I was horrified recently to learn that an Italian student traveling in Iraq was detained because he happened to be carrying my book Black Flags. Happily @Marco_pic99 is back home & safe. W/ help from @lanavediteseoed @bettywrong he has a new signed copy of the Italian edition!

One would-be terrorist dreamed of bombing a Taylor Swift concert. Another concocted a plan to unleash mayhem in New Orleans. The common thread: ISIS provided inspiration and a “cause” for wanton violence. Our look at how radicalization works in the social-media age, w/ @smekhennet

Assad’s collapse has triggered a race to find missing chemical weapons, including more than 360 tons of mustard gas and five tons of missing precursors for the nerve agent sarin. Securing whatever remains is now a top priority for Syria's neighbors & other countries. @jobywarrick.bsky.social
Assad’s collapse triggers race to find missing chemical weapons
The Assad regime hid some of its deadly nerve agents from inspectors. With Syria in chaos, finding out what happened to the arsenal is a top priority.

Amid Syria’s upheaval, a wariness over the rebels’ Islamist roots

An extraordinary story of the bond between men at war, superbly told by @jobywarrick.bsky.social
Two Marines forged a friendship on the battlefields of World War I. One died in combat. A century later, the survivor’s recorded memories bring a long-delayed closure. A personal story for me and my family, new today.

A century later, a taped message solves the mystery of a WWI doughboy’s death
I wrote about my great-uncle Foster Stevens, who was killed nine days before the Nov. 11, 1918, armistice that ended World War I. Now we know about the man who was with him when he died.
