The September 2023 issue of Militant Leadership Monitor starts off with a look at Zuena Nakhumicha, a Tanzanian banker now known as the “Black Widow” due to her alleged involvement with the financing of and facilitating the movement of recruits for Islamic State in East Africa. Following the brief, there is a discussion of Jewel Molla, a man who rose from being a bakery worker to found Tawhidul Uluhiah al-Jihadi (TUJ) in Bangladesh. In the next article, the publication considers the life of Hilal Ghazi, a rising star in the Pakistani Taliban. The publication ends with an examination of the rising tide of far-left terrorism in Germany, as evidenced by the militant network of captured student radical “Lina E.”
