PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- In an Internet age, al Qaeda prizes geek jihadis as much as would-be suicide bombers and gunmen.
The terror network is recruiting computer-savvy technicians to produce sophisticated web documentaries and multimedia products aimed at Muslim audiences in the United States, Britain and other western countries. Already, the terror movement's al-Sahab production company is turning out high-quality material, some of which rivals productions by western media companies. The documentaries appear regularly on Islamist websites, which al Qaeda uses to recruit followers and rally its supporters.

PRISTINA -- Two rocket launchers have been siezed from a house in the tense, ethnically divided northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica, police said Wednesday. The 64mm rocket launchers were discovered during a search in the Albanian-majority southern part of the town, which is separated from the mainly Serb north by the Ibar River.
A special unit of the NATO-led peacekeeping Kosovo Force (KFOR) "was called to the scene and confiscated the illegal weapons," the police said in a statement. "The search was completed without any incident, while the suspect wasn't at home," it added. The town, where 20,000 Serbs live in the north and 80,000 Albanians in the south, symbolises the ethnic tensions of Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia Feb. 17.

Yep.
That 72 virgin enticement would be doubly attractive to a jihadi geek.

TERRORISM FOCUS
“Morocco Charges Cooperation Between Terrorists and Organized Crime”
By Thomas Renard
Glad you got your computer repaired and more glad you’re here with us!
OPINION:
It depends on the geek.
The geek is focused on his cyberwarfare agenda, just like the recruiters (who are usually older and mostly men) get excited about pulling in the youth who do go out do the acts of jihad.
No one really has hit the jihad geek status yet of Irhabi 007 who is in Belmarsh prison for 16 years.

Gadahn (in pieces or hiding) was coming in second with his internet propaganda.

It would seem to me there would be some way for pilots to radio coordinates to law enforcement for near immediate dispersal to those locations...?
Islamist website allegedly under pressure from US Intelligence
"Elimination [of Jihad Material] from the Site Cannot Eliminate [Jihad] from Our Hearts" The message from the website administrator to its subscribers read: "We decided to remove the jihad sections because the [site] administration and its hosting company... received a letter from the American intelligence [agency indicating that] the site contains topics which, as usual, worry the American intelligence [agency]. The letter gave the site administration two options: [Either the agency] takes the site off the main host, 'Data Center' (i.e. SoftLayer), which is located in the USA, and reports it to the intelligence agency in our city, or we eliminate those jihad topics and close the [jihad] sections [on the website]. We had no choice but to accept the second option, to ensure the continuation of our communication with you... [You should know, however,] that eliminating [jihad content] from the website's sections cannot eliminate [jihad] from our hearts..."
However, a review of the content of http://www.al-farooq.net after the supposed removal of jihad content shows that the changes made by the site administration are merely cosmetic. While the site no longer includes designated jihad sections, it is still saturated with jihad-promoting material.
The establishment of jihad training camps in the British hinterlands raises disquieting questions with no easy answers: How many more might be there? How can they be detected? Questions like these should lead to considerations of the wisdom of the current no-holds-barred immigration policy, and of the loyalty of the larger Muslim community in Britain – questions that have never been satisfactorily answered. Exposure to the jihadist, Islamic supremacist ideology, says the self-styled British “former Islamist” Ed Husain, “that radicalism, that extremism, that ‘them-and-us’ mind set -- starts here on our streets in Britain.”
Why does it start on the streets in Britain, and what can be done about that? According to the Associated Press, “Hamid, originally from Tanzania, hand-picked recruits from mainstream mosques, inviting them for radical meetings at his home and then selecting a smaller number to attend the camps, police said.” Yet whenever law enforcement officials have broached the topic of monitoring activity inside mosques, they meet a barrage of indignation and criticism. The core problem is that, for all their ballyhooed condemnations of terrorism, peaceful Muslims in Britain and America have not moved in any great numbers to expose those who hold jihadist sentiments, much less to separate themselves from them and expel them from their mosques. There is no wall of separation in the British or American Muslim community between Muslims who accept Western pluralism and just want to live ordinary lives and those who hold to the same ideology of jihad and the destruction or subjugation of infidels to which “Osama bin London” had dedicated his life. There is no easy or reliable way to distinguish a Muslim who may be working to top the death total of the July 2005 London bombings from one who abhors the very idea.
Canada urged to lift news blackout on terrorism story
Several media organizations, including The Associated Press, are asking an appeals court to lift a news blackout on a terrorism case that one lawyer says includes charges of a plot to storm Canada’s parliament.
Authorities announced the arrest of 17 suspects in June 2006 after they allegedly tried to obtain three tons of ammonium nitrate. They accused the suspects of plotting terror attacks in southern Ontario and said they were inspired by al-Qaida.
One defense lawyer has said his client and some of the other suspects were charged with plotting to attack Parliament, take hostages and possibly behead the prime minister if their demands for the release of Muslim prisoners were not met.
