Expert: Militants driven online by Arab state government crackdowns

12:59 PM PDT on Wednesday, May 19, 2004

Associated Press

BOISE, ID. - A terrorism expert said the crackdown by governments of the Arab states in the Middle East has forced Islamic militants to take their cause online.

Israeli expert Reuven Paz testified Wednesday that the Internet was an alternative that would allow them to carry on their campaign to bring the entire world under strict Islam.

Prosecutors are trying to show through Paz' testimony that what Sami Omar Al-Hussayen put on the Internet is what terrorist leaders look for when they're trying to raise money and recruit people.

But the University of Idaho graduate student said he's done nothing to foster terrorism and has only volunteered his skills to a Muslim group to keep its Internet programs running.

=================================================

Sorry Sami, you're a lying sack of crap. As a software developer myself, I know how intimate you get with your customer's business when you work with their programs.
