Internet Becomes Virtual Training Camp

By Staff

The Internet helped a terrorism network that spanned eight countries
including the United States and England to flourish, the Los Angeles
Times reports.

More than 30 suspects were involved in the network that hatched plots
in Washington, Toronto, London and Bosnia-Herzegovina, The Times said.

The central figures in the operation, a Bosnian refugee named Maximus
and a Moroccan living in London, became brother warriors through the
use of the World Wide Web, the report said.

British police say Younis Tsouli, 22, was hunched over his computer day
and night in London serving as a pioneering cyber-operative for
al-Qaida.

He directed Maximus and was at the hub of other plots.

For law enforcement, the case demonstrates that the Internet has become
a virtual training camp and operations center replacing the al-Qaida
bases in Afghanistan and Bosnia.
