A most excellent bust in the UK: Three jailed for engaging in 'cyber jihad' for al-Qaida. The ring-leader, Younis Tsouli, is a real piece of work. He dubbed himself the "James Bond of Al Qaida" and became an information source for all kinds of terrorist-enabling content like bomb-making, identity theft, fraud, and poison-brewing instructions. In addition, he also distributed Muslim snuff porn like the Daniel Pearl and Nicholas Berg executions.
Investigators and vigilantes who monitor jihadi internet traffic dubbed Irhabi007 the "godfather of cyber-terrorism for al-Qaida" in Iraq while he was active from early 2004 until his arrest in October 2005.
In May 2004 he helped to distribute a video of the beheading by Zarqawi of an American contractor in Iraq, Nicholas Berg. It was downloaded half a million times in the first 24 hours. By hacking into unprotected web servers he was able to use a mechanism known as file transfer protocol to post large files and videos, including videos made by an al-Qaida affiliate group in Saudi Arabia responsible for attacking housing used by foreign staff.
He was caught when two terrorist suspects were arrested in Bosnia and their mobile phones and email records led to the detention of more than 30 people in North America and Europe.
This coward, like his brethern who use Electronic Jihad doesn't want to actually get his hands dirty but will enable other Muslims to kill for Allah. I guess he wanted to be a Chloe O'Brian for terrorists. He only thinks he's James Bond, but Bond actually does his own dirty work. The judge wants to deport him after he finishes his sentence. We'll be seeing him again.
