FDD's Long War Journal was founded in 2007 by Bill Roggio and Thomas Joscelyn. The two decided to create a platform focused on providing news and analysis on the War on Terror. The platform is a project of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a non-profit policy institute based in Washington, D.C. Operating from the United States, FDD's Long War Journal covers in-depth news and expert analysis on the global war on terror. Its coverage includes updates on military operations, counter-terrorism strategies, and jihadist movements around the world. **One interesting fact**: A unique aspect of FDD's Long War Journal is its exhaustive mapping project. They track the control of territory in several conflict zones around the world, including Afghanistan and Syria. This provides readers with a visual understanding of how different militant groups are positioned globally.
