FIRST POINT


This issue of First Point is a public release of holdings in the Continuum database. The Continuum database is the result of UDA Consulting monitoring overlaps and intersections between criminality and terrorism. Continuum draws from open sources and UDA Consulting's network, with a bias towards those events and activities that UDA Consulting can confirm or corroborate. Continuum’s inspiration comes from the fluid relationships between crime and terrorist activity. There are several such relationships, each of which provides a particular lens that analysts require and should apply consciously
