For almost two years, intelligence services around the world tried to uncover the identity of an Internet hacker who had become a key conduit for al-Qaeda. The savvy, English-speaking, presumably young webmaster taunted his pursuers, calling himself Irhabi -- Terrorist -- 007. He hacked into American university computers, propagandized for the Iraq insurgents led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and taught other online jihadists how to wield their computers for the cause.

(Terrorism) Judge to prosecutor: ‘So what’s a Web site?’
MSN ^ | 5/16/07

Judge to prosecutor: ‘So what’s a Web site?’

During Internet terrorism trial, judge asks attorneys to keep it simple

By Mark Trevelyan

Updated: 3:05 p.m. ET May 16, 2007 LONDON - A British judge admitted on Wednesday he was struggling to cope with basic terms like “Web site” in the trial of three men accused of inciting terrorism via the Internet.

Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals.

“The trouble is I don’t understand the language. I don’t really understand what a Web site is,” he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws.

Prosecutor Mark Ellison briefly set aside his questioning to explain the terms “Web site” and “forum.” An exchange followed in which the 59-year-old judge acknowledged: “I haven’t quite grasped the concepts.”

Violent Islamist material posted on the Internet, including beheadings of Western hostages, is central to the case.

“Just a case of playing Devil’s advocate for website judge”
Frances Gibb, Legal Editor

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A spokesman for the Judicial Communications Office added: “The judge knew perfectly well what a website was. He was in a sense playing Devil’s advocate, asking the questions that a member of the jury might want to ask.”

After the judge’s comments the court was treated on Thursday to a PowerPoint demonstration by the computer expert giving evidence, Peter Sams. He explained that the internet was a “complex communication system” and “you need to log into the system through a telephone cable or perhaps a television cable”. The professor then explained the terms “dial-up” and “broadband”.

In the trial the defendants – Younis Tsouli, 23, Waseem Mughal, 24, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, who deny the charges – are accused of helping to distribute Islamic propaganda over the internet in support of al-Qaeda. Mr Tsouli, of West London, is said to have had links to an al-Qaeda group in Iraq. The trial continues.”

Two admit inciting terrorist acts

Two men have admitted inciting terrorist attacks against non-Muslims on websites and in e-mails.

Younes Tsouli, 23, of west London, and Waseem Mughal, 24, of Chatham, Kent, changed their pleas two months into their trial at Woolwich Crown Court.

The pair had links to al-Qaeda in Iraq and spent a year encouraging people to follow the ideology of Osama Bin Laden.

A third man, Tariq Al-Daour, 21, of west London, denies terror charges. His trial is due to resume on Wednesday.

Investigators found on Mr Tsouli’s laptop computer a presentation entitled The Illustrated Booby Trapping Course.

A film about how to make a suicide vest was found on a CD at Mughal’s home.

The court also heard that Mr Tsouli told Mr Mughal in an online conversation that he, Mr Tsouli, had been asked by al-Qaeda to translate the organisation’s official e-book into English.

Global

The book - Thurwat Al Sanam, or Tip Of The Camel’s Hump - is said to promote jihad, or holy struggle.

The pair believed there was a “global conspiracy” to wipe out Islam, the court was told.

Mr Tsouli and Mr Mughal admitted inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism wholly or partly outside the United Kingdom which would, if committed in England and Wales, constitute murder.

Mr Tsouli, of Shepherd’s Bush, was born in Morocco. Mr Mughal is UK-born.

Mr Al-Daour, born in the United Arab Emirates, denies the same charge.

He is also accused of conspiring to defraud banks, credit card companies and charge card companies, which he denies.

Yep. The CIA should be hunting these guys down and when they catch 'em, whip out their license to kill.

Moreover, any terrorist incident should fall under the authority of the military. The government should officially proclaim its policy of implementing law of war violation reprisal. Terrorist incidents should then be resolved with the following steps:

  1. find out who these clowns are
  2. find out who their relatives are
  3. go to where these people live
  4. line up all the relatives out front
  5. tell them that they're implicated in terrorism
  6. tell them that their domiciles will be searched
  7. tell them that if anything related to terrorism is found, the whole lot - without predjudice to age or sex - will be summarily executed on the spot
  8. tell them that if somebody steps forward right then and there that such and such will be found in the terrorist/terroist relative-abode the rest of the family will be spared
  9. search said homes
  10. execute said individuals in accordance with the foregoing
  11. all those remaining standing are subsequently incarcerated for the duration of the war.
  12. when the war is over, let the appropriate ones out for good behavior
  13. the one's not relesaed for good behavior will then prosecuted for waging illegal war (as required according to the Geneva Conventions).
  14. IF nothing related to terrorism is found, then take the entire family into custody and interrogate them
  15. Interogation techniques will utilize whatever techniques are best suited for extraction of information
  16. former NVA interrogators, French "para's" of the Algerian conflict, and ex-KGB officials should be consuilted on the most suitable techniques that will gain the most information in the least amount of time.
In order to facilitate execution of this policy, the government should institute a counter-terrorism division of troops composed almost entirely of officers. All that these soldiers do is fly all around the world in groups of three, and convene 30 second military tribunals prior to execution in front of a MP firing squad.

Now, if that doesn't get results and help win the war, then I suggest it would be high time to get downright Draconian on their asses.

‘Spooky’ website calls doctors to jihad
By John Steele, Crime Correspondent
Last Updated: 8:22pm BST 04/07/2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A group of 45 Muslim doctors threatened to use car bombs and rocket grenades in terrorist attacks in the United States during discussions on an extremist internet chat site, it has emerged.

Anti-terrorist police found details of the discussions on a jihadi site run by one of a three-strong “cyber-terrorist” gang.

They were discovered at the home of Younis Tsouli, 23, Woolwich Crown Court in south east London heard.

One message, thought to have been sent on February 12 2005, read: ‘We are 45 doctors and we are determined to undertake jihad and take the battle inside America.

“The first target which will be penetrated by nine brothers is the naval base which gives shelter to the ship Kennedy.”

This is thought to have been a reference to the USS John F Kennedy, which is often at Mayport Naval Base in Jacksonville, Florida.

The message discussed targets at the base, adding: ‘These are clubs for naked women which are opposite the First and Third units.”

It also referred to using six Chevrolet GT vehicles and three fishing boats and blowing up petrol tanks with rocket propelled grenades.

Tsouli replied to the message by saying “He needs the recipe for making car bombs,” and a “recipe” was supplied by one contributor, including gas cylinders as one ingredient.

Investigators have found no link between the Tsouli chat room and the group of doctors and medics currently in custody over attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.

However, sources said it was “definitely spooky” that the use of doctors for terrorist purposes was being discussed in jihadi terrorist circles up to three years ago.

Part of the inquiry into the London and Glasgow incidents will focus on whether al-Qa’eda has recruited doctors or other medical professionals because they are less likely to attract suspicion and can move easily around the western world.

The three “cyber terrorists” - a British national and two who had been given the right to live in the UK - are facing lengthy jail sentences after admitting using the internet to spread al-Qa’eda propaganda inciting Muslims to violent holy war and murder non-believers.

They had close links with al-Qa’eda in Iraq and believed they had to fight jihad against a global conspiracy by kuffars, or non-believers, to wipe out Islam.

They were also linked to an extremist in Bosnia, who was jailed after police seized guns, explosives and videos espousing anti-western hatred, and to others in Sweden.

The three are the first defendants in Britain to be convicted of inciting terrorist murder on the internet.

Other cases, such as Abu Hamza, have involved incitement in speeches or at public meetings. Instead, the three waged cyber-jihad on websites run from their bedrooms.

Tsouli promoted the ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites using the cyber name ‘Irhaby007’ - which means ‘Terrorist 007’ in Arabic.

He said in one message he was “very happy” about the July 7 bombings in London in 2005.”
