Inquiry and Analysis - No. 503 March 9, 2009 No. 503
Introduction
The existing published research pertaining to the world of virtual jihad has focused mostly on the content published on jihadist websites and forums. For the most part, scholars and investigators have followed the news posted on jihadist forums, analyzed the various ideological views reflected in them, and scrutinized jihadists' writings regarding their operational intentions and capabilities. Little if any research has centered on the technical aspects of virtual jihad. The purpose of this article is to allow the public a glimpse behind the scenes of the shadowy world of virtual jihad.
