WASHINGTON -- With the Taliban out of Afghanistan and governments around the world restricting access to al-Qaida-linked websites, would-be militant Islamic holy warriors are turning to low-tech electronic message boards to find out where to fight.

The message boards, hosted by such domains as Yahoo and Lycos in the United Kingdom, are proving a free, unrestricted and largely difficult-to-track forum for would-be fighters to hook up with those coordinating operations, say terrorism experts and intelligence officials. Whereas once Islamic militants needed to pass through training camps in Afghanistan to be groomed for jihad, now they are announcing their desire to fight in Muslim holy wars and martyr attacks from cybercafes and home computers in Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom.

"these message boards ... give them a basically anonymous command-and-control tool"

Which can be spoofed

Ping

[JohnathanRGalt]

Jehadi website ping: (let me know if you want on or off)

[abner]

Thanks for the ping.

[LibWhacker]

. . . and perhaps have someone who knows them reveal them on a daily basis . . .

Millions of native speaking Arabs in America and they can't help with this? Deport the bastards.

[Cindy]

You mean "Rita Katz" mentioned in the article?

If so, I don't know.

[Cynderbean]

Try putting "kafur", "kaffir", or "kafir" in a Google search. Pretty scary stuff.

[JohnathanRGalt]

Yes, that was Rita Katz. Some Muslim groups are suing her now for 'casting aspersions' on their charities.
