Bonus: Insight on Islamic State Group + Miami stops the party
Ahead of our planned episode on Miami, a moment to put the Moscow attacks in context
A bonus episode from The Global Story podcast.
On this episode, we’re covering two very different stories.
After the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack on a concert hall in Moscow, we’re revisiting a previous episode asking how much of a threat the group still pose.
Mina al-Lami from 91Èȱ¬ Monitoring tells us that the groups fortunes fell in 2023, with them claiming far fewer attacks. And Josh Baker from The Shamima Begum Story podcast joins us to explain why they still pose a credible threat.

Also, as spring approaches in the United States, millions of young people are heading off on spring break. But some cities have had enough of student revellers unwinding and the chaos that can arrive with them.
Terry Ward, a travel writer and 91Èȱ¬ contributor tells us what it’s like to go on spring break. And Beatriz Diaz from 91Èȱ¬ Mundo explains why Miami is discouraging spring breakers.
