👉 The Terrorist Project, also known as the "Terrorist Research and Analysis Center" (TRAC), is a clandestine organization that emerged in the early 2000s, primarily focused on studying and countering terrorist threats. Operating under the radar, TRAC aimed to gather intelligence on various terrorist groups, particularly those with global reach, such as al-Qaeda and ISIS. It conducted extensive research on terrorist tactics, recruitment methods, and ideological motivations, providing critical insights to governments and intelligence agencies. However, the project's activities often blurred ethical lines, raising concerns about surveillance, privacy, and the potential for misuse of its findings. Despite its official dissolution in 2009, some elements of TRAC's work continued to influence counterterrorism strategies.
