DEBKAfile:
A world Internet News Leader on Security and Intelligence

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service.
We pioneered intensive news coverage and analysis of global terror before it hit the front pages as the looming threat to world security.
This forward slant has become DEBKAfile's quintessential trademark for an ever-widening, regular audience in 156 countries.
We are especially popular in the United States, with viewers in every state, as well as the Middle East and Europe.
DEBKAfile's innovative approach plumbs the underlying causes of international conflicts and overt and secret wars, delves into the arcane workings of international Islamic terror and the world of intelligence, and updates you on military affairs and the Middle East.
We have developed unmatched expertise on Iran.
DEBKAfile in English and Hebrew is updated four times a day, seven days a week.
