Methodology

Below is a list of individuals who have attended events on 'terrorism' at influential think-tanks between 2001 and 2007. The names of all disclosed attendees to a number of events on terrorism were recorded. Those individuals who attended more than one event are listed in the table below alphabetically according to surname. Below that table is a second listing the events which were consulted.

The institutions consulted were selected because links to their websites were included on the websites of MI5 and the US Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism. The researchers were limited by the institutions which posted the relevant information.
