Institute for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence
Often referred to as a "nonprofit international organization" located in Washington, DC,[1][2] the Institute for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (ISTPV) has no website and only exists on the web in the form of references made to it by individuals who list themselves as members of the institute. It appears to be defunct. The organization can be traced as far back as 1994 with references naming former IDF member Yigal Carmon as its director and 1997 in the mainstream media with a reference to Oliver Revell who was quoted and identified in a CNN report as ISTPV's president.[3] The majority of listed members appear to have worked in intelligence organizations prior to joining ISTPV including the FBI and the CIA, and many continue to include their membership in their online bios. Vice President Peter Probst left the FBI to establish his own private consultancy and join ISTPV.
