"The Decline and Fall of Irhabi007: Episode Two, The Bust"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The point of this story is simple but important:

There is no wall, no dividing line, nothing separating online jihadist activity from off-line/real-world jihadist activity (i.e terrorism). The two are inseparable.

The story of how Irhabi007 came to reside in Belmarsh Prison starts in Bosnia."

"First 'homegrown' terrorists convicted
Swede gets 15 years; related hearings to start Monday in Canada, U.K."

COLIN FREEZE
With a report from Reuters

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A teenaged Swede and his two accomplices yelled "God is Great" in a Bosnian courtroom yesterday, as they were convicted of plotting a suicide-bombing attack.

Mirsad Bektasevic, 19, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a planned terrorist strike in Sarajevo. He is better known as "Maximus," the code name he used to post messages on jihadist Internet forums."

The sentences represent the first successful prosecutions against members of an alleged global network of "homegrown" extremists, whose tendrils stretched from the Middle East to Western countries such as Canada.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In the months after the Bosnian arrests in 2005, authorities moved to round up suspects in London, Copenhagen, Dhaka, Atlanta and, finally, Toronto -- where a total of 18 young suspects were arrested last June."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A variety of distinct terrorist conspiracies have been alleged, but in all cases the ringleaders stand accused of taking inspiration from al-Qaeda and from one another."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The extent of the network began to unravel in October of 2005, after Sarajevo police arrested Maximus. They searched his apartment and found martyrdom videos and a suicide bomber's belt laden with explosives. The plan was to strike an unspecified target in the capital of Bosnia, the war-torn European country that has long been a crossroads for extremists.

"These gentlemen were connected through websites, e-mail and mobile phones to other jihadists planning attacks in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe," Aaron Weisburd, director of a U.S.-based anti-terrorism Web service, told The Globe and Mail in an e-mail yesterday.

"They represent the 'new al-Qaeda.' ''

He added that Maximus was a "high-value" suspect whose case highlights the fact that "the Internet is a place, and terrorists dwell in that cyberspace and use it as a virtual safe haven."

Global anti-terrorism agencies are cagey about how their investigations are flowing together, but the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has said these investigations are linked.

Mr. Weisburd is acknowledged as a leading authority on extremist networks. His site, known as Internet Haganah, exists to expose jihadist activity on the Internet.

One suspect that Haganah has long tracked is Younis Tsouli, a 22-year-old arrested in Britain two days after the Bosnian suspects were rounded up. It is alleged that he is the hacker who went by the name Terrorist 007 on the Internet. Now charged with conspiracy to murder, plotting an explosion and stealing money, his trial is set to begin Monday in London.

Preliminary hearings for four young people charged in the Toronto case are also to begin on Monday. Like most of the 18 accused, the youngest suspects are charged with attending a terrorist training camp. A core group of seven adults further stands accused of plotting to detonate truck bombs against government targets.

The alleged ringleader of the Toronto plot was reportedly in contact with Terrorist 007 as well as two other young men now facing trial in the United States. The Atlanta-based suspects allegedly videotaped U.S. targets in Washington and sent the surveillance to Terrorist 007 in Britain."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A related case involving alleged extremists in Denmark is also under way."
