Uncloaking Terrorist Networks
by Valdis E. Krebs

Abstract

This paper looks at mapping covert networks using data available from
news sources on the World Wide Web. Specifically, we examine the
network surrounding the tragic events of September 11th 2001. Through
public data we are able to map a portion of the network centered on
the 19 dead hijackers. This map gives us some insight into the
terrorist organization, yet it is incomplete. Suggestions for further
work and research are offered.
