From the "just keeping an eye on it" file
I don't know how I feel about this. I just find it interesting.
Sunday Times
Over the past fortnight Israeli intelligence agents have noticed something distinctly odd happening on the internet. One by one, Al-Qaeda’s affiliated websites have vanished until only a handful remain, write Uzi Mahnaimi and Alex Pell.
Someone has cut the line of communication between the spiritual leaders of international terrorism and their supporters. Since 9/11 the websites have been the main links to disseminate propaganda and information.
The Israelis detect the hand of British intelligence, determined to torpedo the websites after the London attacks of July 7.
The article then goes into how Al Quaida uses the internet and how it's useful to them. One aside. Notice there's no sites listed, no evidence, no backing, just a statement. Somebody gave them this story because they wanted it printed. Just interesting.
