WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2004 -- A nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing terrorism on U.S. soil has launched a Web site that provides extensive information on global terrorist incidents and organizations.
The National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, known as MIPT, is funded by the Department of Homeland Security. The institute created the Terrorism Knowledge Base over the past four years. It was made available to the world in early September, said James Ellis III, MIPT research and program coordinator.
Army Lt. Col. James Cassella, director of U.S. Army Public Web Communications and the Army home page, said he feels the amount of information on the site will be of great value to users.
"This site offers a tremendous amount of content, so much so that we're considering adding a link to it from our own 'Timeline of Terrorism' Web special on www.army.mil," Cassella said. "Terrorism continues to pose a grave threat, and the more we know about it, the more effective we'll be in countering it."
