Major Al-Qaeda Web Site Silenced
The main website for Al-Qaeda in Iraq is no more. Seems that the US is getting sharper about using the internet to observe and disrupt these sites. First we just watch, then we have the info we take em down. The producer of the site one Abu Dijana was also captured. I suspect we now have a wealth of info on the insurgency from this raid.
All of which raises the interesting and secretive prospect that American security experts are monitoring and hacking these Web sites to gather up both information and members of the insurgency and their supporters. That might explain why one of the top propaganda operatives of "al-Qaida in Iraq" was caught by the Americans and why his Web site was so quiet during the referendum.
The Jawa Report has been both calling for the removal of these web sites as well as using the content of them to expose the true nature of our enemy. The web is a critcal tool for the terrorists. For us good news just doesn't get much better.
