Newswise — As the world continues to reel from terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut, continuing questions about the best way to fight terrorism —as well as the rise of ISIS—are taking place among policy leaders, communities and elsewhere.

Amos Guiora, a law professor at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, is an expert on counter-terrorism and national security and can speak about the latest violence and issues related to ISIS/ISIL .

Guiora has written for the New York Times about his past involvement in prisoner release negotiations for Israel. He served 19 years in the Israel Defense Forces and was involved in the release of Palestinian prisoners in his role as a judge advocate general. He is the author of several books related to terrorism and each year at the University of Utah hosts a counter-terrorism simulation to help students train to respond to terrorist attacks.
