"The new BBG can expect occasional poor reception," USC CPD blog, 18 December 2009.
"One important event this past September 11 went unnoticed. Al Qaeda had earlier promised an important video release on September 11. But the video, thought to be a rant from some senior al Qaeda official (maybe even bin Laden), never showed up. There are two possible reasons for this. First, there is the recent dismantling of the al Qaeda Internet media operation (mostly in Iraq, but in other countries as well.) ... Second, there's the growing war by anti-terrorist hackers (individuals and groups) to shut down pro-terrorist web sites." Strategy Page, 15 September 2008. In recent history, and still to some extent, groups such as Al Qaeda would have used clandestine shortwave stations to disseminate their messages. Such broadcasts could be jammed, but with more difficulty than the hacking of websites today. Posted: 16 Sep 2008 Permalink Print
