Understanding Terrorism and the Islamist Challenge in the Maghreb

The Marine Corps University Journal published in its summer 2013 edition an article titled "Understanding Terrorism and the Islamist Challenge in the Maghreb" by Valentina Bartolucci, a lecturer in the politics of terrorism at the University of Pisa in Italy.  This article (pages 54-79) is a nice summary of the current terrorist threat facing Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
