DESCRIPTION:Featuring: \n\nModerator – Peter Bergen\n\nResearch Fellow\, Center on Law and Security\, CNN analyst and author\, The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of al Qaeda’s Leader \nPanelists: \n\nDr. Alexis Debat\n\nSenior Fellow at the Nixon Center and Senior Consultant to ABC News; Former advisor to the French minister of Defense on Transatlantic Affairs. \n\nNick Fielding\n\nAuthor of Masterminds of Terror: the truth behind the most devastating attack the world has ever seen and formerly senior reporter at the Sunday Times (London). \nThis event will analyze the future role the Muslim Brotherhood will play in Middle Eastern Politics. Topics covered will include: How would the Muslim Brotherhood act if they made an electoral breakthrough in a Middle Eastern country? Would an empowered Muslim Brotherhood pursue a narrow Islamist agenda or would it be prepared to forge compromises with secular parties and non-Islamic parties providing the best hope for representative government in the region? What sort of partner would a Muslim Brotherhood government be to the West and what would its stance be towards Israel? \nUnderlining all these questions is how much does it make sense to talk of the Muslim Brotherhood as one unified entity rather than having separate agendas in individual countries.

SUMMARY:Open Forum on Hezbollah
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the recent conflict in the Middle East\, the NYU Law School’s Center on Law and Security is organizing a special open forum on Hezbollah on September 28th 2006 at 6pm in the Vanderbilt Hall at NYU. The open forum is part of a series of events planned this fall by the Center on Law and Security on key subject areas in the war on terrorism.  The open forum will feature: \nPeter Bergen\, a Fellow at the Center on Law and Security and CNN’s Chief Terrorism Analyst will moderate a discussion held by two leading experts on Hezbollah. \nAmbassador Michael A. Sheehan is a Distinguished Fellow at the Center and Law and Security and formerly the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner for Counter-terrorism (2003-6) and the State Department’s Counter-terrorism Coordinator (1998-2000) a role he took on after a career in the US Army Special Forces. \nHala Jaber is a British-Lebanese foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times (London) who has reported extensively on Hezbollah including sending dispatches from the frontllines of the recent conflict. She has exceptional contacts within the Hezbollah leadership and in 1997 wrote the authoritative book on Hezbollah\, Hezbollah: Born with a Vengeance\, for which she was given unparalleled access to the organization. She was named Foreign Reporter of the Year in 2005 in the prestigious  British Press Awards. \nThe panelists will discuss an array of issues raised by the month long conflict in the Middle East\, focusing particularly on Hezbollah’s future position within the Lebanese political fabric. Will Hezbollah be emboldened to launch new terrorist attacks or will it in future focus more on the political sphere. How will other Lebanese political actors respond to Hezbollah in the coming months and years?  How will Hezbollah’s relationship develop with Iran and Syria? How can the international community develop a strategy to ensure full sovereignty to the Lebanese State? \nThe panelists will also focus on the security threat from Hezbollah\, a group classified as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. To what degree does Hezbollah’s new capabilities threaten Israeli security?  To what extent does Hezbollah have the capability and appetite to launch attacks of a global reach? Is there a possibility of Hezbollah attacking US facilities if tensions continue to rise between the US and Iran? What is the likelihood of Hezbollah and al Qaeda might cooperating in a global Islamist insurgency?
