The Centre was founded in 1996, and claims to be 'the leading academic institute for counter-terrorism in the world, facilitating international cooperation in the global struggle against terrorism.' It also claims to be 'an independent think tank providing expertise in terrorism, counter-terrorism, homeland security, threat vulnerability and risk assessment, intelligence analysis and national security and defense policy.' However, its independence is rhetorical, in reality the Institute is fully signed up to the ideology of the 'war on terror'.<ref>ICT [http://www.ict.org.il/apage/5201.php About Us], accessed 7 January 2007</ref>
