Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught

anaesthetica writes "The Washington Post is carrying a story on a young man suspected to be the al-Qaeda hacker 'Irhabi 007'. From the article: 'Celebrated for his computer expertise, Irhabi 007 had propelled the jihadists into a 21st-century offensive through his ability to covertly and securely disseminate manuals of weaponry, videos of insurgent feats such as beheadings and other inflammatory material... The Internet has presented investigators with an extraordinary challenge. But our future security is going to depend increasingly on identifying and catching the shadowy figures who exist primarily in the elusive online world.'"

  1. There is no real terrorist threat by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    These terrorists are nothing but a tool used by our hijacked government to control the people with fear while they loot and plunder the American people.

    Meanwhile Americans are apathetic and ignorant while their food supply is being poisoned, their liberties are being eroded and the executive branch weilds power that goes unchecked.

    Most of what really happened on 9/11 will eventually become public knowledge (the information is out there if you look for it). The Bush administration will take the fall for this while the true perpetrators consolidate even more power and wealth.

    Both Republicans and Democrats are in on this. Do not trust any Democrats to help the people (except for a select few). Hillary Clinton's adminstration will be little different than the Bush adminstration. She will succeed in taking away more liberties from the people (2nd amendment).

    Expect "terrorist" attacks, massive internet control and censorship, mandatory (bird flu) vaccinations, national ID cards, unwarranted monitoring/tracking, FEMA detention camps and declining liberties.

    Resistance is NOT futile. They will make it seem hopeless. It is never hopeless. In reality, they fear the people. We should not fear them. Fear, anger and conflict are their most powerful tools to manipulate the masses. We must fear nothing (but God), love all that share this world with us and make peace with one another. It is for the sake of our children and their children.

    We must not be remembered as the generation that was idle while this was happening to us right under our noses. Take advantage of the information and personal networking we have access to on the internet while it lasts.
