SNIPPET: “Her online activities, however, had long been the subject of interest to a band of amateur internet sleuths who dedicate their online time to tracking down potential terrorists, child abusers and other criminals.
Members of two such groups, the Jawa Report and the YouTube Smackdown Corps, claim to have been tracking Ms LaRose’s online postings as early as 2007.”
SNIPPET: “The US man who reported Ms LaRose to the authorities last July, does not want to be identified but said he had been tracking her for about a year and a half.
He first encountered her after watching a YouTube channel dedicated to Middle Eastern performing arts. He found that some people were violently critical of the featured female performers, threatening to rape and kill them.
“One thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I was dealing with fanatics such as Jihad Jane/Fatima LaRose whose real identity was later revealed as Colleen LaRose.”
He said Ms LaRose “recklessly” posted information about herself on websites. “Her previous internet activity was easy to track. In it she listed her real name, birth date, location and even online pictures of herself,” he added.
“Although YouTube Smackdown was responsible for removing most of her terrorist accounts, she remained determined to create more accounts on YouTube promoting terrorism against the US.
“She got more of a following of real terrorists as time went on, joining online terrorist websites and promoting them on her YouTube channels. When she finally made an account which actively solicited funds for the Pakistan Mujaheddin – which I knew she had acquired the contacts for – I knew she had become a real threat for our safety.”
He reported her to the FBI in Philadelphia, marking the beginning of the end for her online venture.”
