It brought back different images with nonesense words. Why is Ahlam hu Akhbar associated with a plane and well, the image association could mean a target.

Why those words and image associations?

It is very strange. Obviously a wise move to pass it on to the authorities, it could be the real deal, or an odd coincedence. If it's coincidence that guy is going to be confused when he checks his weblog ;)

Why does it bring back any image at all when you enter a compeltely nonsensical word? Answer: it creates an association with a random image when you enter in a word that is not previously associated with an image.

Don't forget how Mr. Lomax came across the twexus site in the first place: the three words in the search term were listed in a search term seed page that the twexus site uses to boost it's appearance in search engine results. You can see that seed page here in the google cache of the page: There are thousands of miscellaneous words on the page so that the twexus site will appear in search results for many thousands of search requests via engines like google which use web spiders to build search results.

There is no reason to assume that jihadis are using the twexus site just because Mr. Lomax stumbled across the page via a misspelled google search, given my explaination of the usage of the search term seed page above. The jihadis would either had to have talked the site owner, Andreas Wacker, into putting those 3 words into his seed page just for them, or else they found his site via a similar google search and then they ululated with joy over their stroke of luck when they find his site to contain just the right images for their proposed attacks.
