DEBKAfile Information

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. DEBKAfile pioneered intensive news coverage and analysis of global terror before it hit the front pages. Indeed, our profound knowledge of the subject gave DEBKAfile's earliest readers advance notice of 9/11 and its target, the World Trade Center. It has evolved as a niche site specializing in Strategic Analysis. We have stayed a step ahead of Islamist terrorism up until the present day, and provided the same forward-looking coverage on the Iranian nuclear program and its links with North Korea; Al Qaeda's expansion into North and East Africa and latterly, Syria; the recent convulsions in Arab lands; the rise of radical Islam; shifting Middle East alliances and conflicts; big power rivalries in these volatile regions; trends in oil and energy; and new military weapons and tactics. DEBKAfile readers typically have a wider scope and understanding of the forces behind the scenes. You may not find financial columns in DEBKAfile, but you will gain a sound foundation for building a financial strategy if you follow us closely. We don't do gossip, petty local intrigue, or crime. We stick to our bread and butter and leave the day-to-day grind to the local media. DEBKAfile has kept pace with the evolution of the Mobile Space. Accessed today on iOS and Android devices, our sites' GUI is designed especially to suit every phone and tablet user. iOS versions (iPhone and iPad) may be downloaded directly from the site as Web Apps, while Android versions may be downloaded from Google Play. You will also find us on all the social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin. In the future too, we promise to keep step with the Mobile Space, social networks and other innovations a they develop.
