Official says terrorist groups are exploiting increased social isolation and online use 'to spread their propaganda through virtual platforms'

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Monday that the COVID-19 pandemic provides new opportunities for the Islamic State extremist group, al-Qaida and their affiliates as well as neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.

Josep Borrell, the European Union’s top diplomat, told the virtual meeting that a global understanding of the pandemic’s implications on counterterrorism efforts across the world is needed. “It will perhaps create an environment where more countries become weak or fail,” he said, and recruitment for terrorist organizations will quite possibly go up.

“The increase in the number of young people engaging in unsupervised Internet usage – particularly on gaming platforms – offers terrorist groups an opportunity to expose a greater number of people to their ideas, although the relationship between online activity and radicalization to violence is not fully understood,” the experts’ report said. “The reported rise in cyber crime could also lead to increased connectivity between terrorist and criminal actors.

Meet Bob Rae's new UN colleagues - Macleans.caPaul Wells: It's possible to admire Bob Rae's contribution to Canadian public life and, at the same time, to notice that other countries normally send people with far more diplomatic experience to the UN. His contribution to public life is failure with terrible and misguided financial policies... oh no wonder Trudeau picked him. Further evidence, if any was needed that an unserious nation will get unserious politics. More? What, that Harper creature or one of his ilk? Someone soft on Trump? BobRae48 is a superb choice. It's not his politics. It's his Value System.

LIVE: Bob Rae speaks after UN appointmentBob Rae speaks following his appointment as Canada's next ambassador to the United Nations, WATCH LIVE NOW. Lousy employees get promoted to lofty positions in fear-based organizations because they are non-threatening to the leaders. Non-threatening is the best thing you can be in a toxic environment. It’s the principal job requirement. Stop trying to start a stupid war with China. We already look like a fool to the world. Why not throw this mess of a leader in the mix? It makes no difference now.
