SNIPPET: “While these various elements of the jihadist network are distinct, the Internet brings them together, especially at the grassroots level. Videos, websites and online magazines indoctrinate aspiring militants in the jihadist ideology and provide a forum for like-minded individuals and groups.”

“Social Networks & The Online Jihad”
World Threats.com ^ | October 26, 2011 | Posted by Candice Lanier
Posted on October 31, 2011 1:38:14 AM PDT by Cindy
SNIPPET: “In July, the British government warned that Al Qaeda’s exploitation of social networking websites is on the rise.”
SNIPPET: “The massive and multifarious network of websites and social media has presented a challenge to authorities in trying to combat it. Additionally, civil liberty concerns have conflicted with government efforts to spy on communications.
Reducing terrorist activity on social media sites has been particularly difficult because users have adopted new forms of communication to conform with the new formats. Many Arabic speakers on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other sites use Arabizi, a form of colloquial Arabic written in the Latin alphabet and numbers. This allows the use of a standard English-language keyboard for typing messages. There exists, however, no standard version of Arabizi. It varies from country to country, even among groups within countries and is affected by differences in dialect.”

SNIPPET: “Note: PWP stands for PassWord-Protected, meaning that a login is required to view - let alone participate in - discussions. Since some in the audience don’t understand the significance of this, allow me to spell it out: if only members can read the forum, then anyone observed reading the forum is a member. They have zero deniability (they couldn’t have accidentally “wandered into” the site), and they had to make the effort to join (an expression of intent).
While the goal here is to present a range of sites, the fact is that the jihadis themselves have largely coalesced at Shmukh and Ansar Arabic.”

“TOP TEN JIHADI FORUMS, AS OF 14 FEBRUARY, 2011”
SNIPPET: “Assembled with the help of my dear brothers in Fateh al-Islam (and their minders in the Syrian intelligence service). The [PWP] notation indicates the site is password protected. There’s nothing worse than the mournful wailing of analysts, graduate students, and reporters who find themselves locked out of their favorite forum. Join early, join often, save important discussions as you find them, try not to say anything too embarrassing, and if you’re a civilian, make some effort to let your friendly neighborhood secret police know that you’re a good guy, not a bad guy, so they don’t have to waste time and money investigating you. Forums are not just websites, they are battlefields, and spectators are not particularly welcome by any of the combatants.”

SNIPPET: “U.S. scientists, speaking Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, discussed the use of web surveillance in the fight against terrorism and infectious diseases.
This year’s AAAS meeting, being held in Vancouver, has drawn more than 7,000 scientists and educators.”

SNIPPET: “Some symposia are looking at how technology has enabled researchers to hone in on specific events or keywords based on Internet use. One discovery found that use of social media has lowered the age of someone advocating “jihad.”
Before 2004, those advocating jihad were 26 years old on average and most interaction was face to face. After 2004, the average age dropped to 20 and social media had become the chief form of interaction.”

“Palestinian detainee Adnan ends hunger strike
Israel set to release Islamic Jihad terrorist from administrative detention in mid-April unless significant new evidence produced”
Aviad Glickman
Published:
02.21.12, 15:27 / Israel News
SNIPPET: “Adnan, who owns a bakery and produce store in the West Bank village of Arabeh, near Jenin, served as Islamic Jihad’s spokesperson. He was arrested by the IDF on December 17 for his alleged involvement in activities that threatenIsrael’s security. He began his hunger strike the following day.
Adnan was previously convicted of belonging to a terrorist organization. He went on another hunger strike after being detained by Palestinian security forces in the West Bank.
Israeli security officials consider him to be one of the senior-most Islamic Jihad operatives in the northern West Bank. He is suspected of taking part in various terror-related activities, including allocating funds for terrorist purposes and maintaining contacts with Islamic Jihad operatives in Syria and the West Bank.”

“No Bond for Uzbek Terror Suspect Muhtorov, Federal Judge Rules”
by Felisa Cardona
February 15, 2012
SNIPPET: “Uzbek refugee Jamshid Muhtorov won’t be released on bond, a federal magistrate judge ruled this afternoon, citing concerns he might leave the country and poses a danger to the community.”
SNIPPET: “On Jan. 21, Muhtorov was arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport on his way to Istanbul, Turkey after agents tracked his emails and phone calls for months after he made contact with the administrator of a pro-IJU website.
The FBI found about $2,800 in cash, two shrink-wrapped iPhones, an iPad and a GPS device with him upon his arrest.”

“Bond considered for Aurora terrorist suspect”
Posted: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 6:25 am | Updated: 6:21 am, Thu Feb 16, 2012.
Associated Press
SNIPPET: “AURORA | An Uzbek refugee living in Aurora morphed from a human rights worker to someone who either provided or tried to provide support to a terrorist organization that actively engages NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, federal prosecutors said Tuesday during a bond hearing.”
SNIPPET: “”In any given case, I’d be concerned with the defendant. A person who has a family, then quits his job and buys a one-way ticket to Turkey is clearly a sign that he’s not living in the best of circumstances,” Hegarty said in telling Leedy why he would probably not grant bail.”
snippet: “The FBI said Muhtorov communicated with a contact with the IJU by email using code words, asking to be invited to the “wedding.” He also told the contact that he was “ready for any task, even with the risk of dying,” the FBI said.”
