story that makes the point, from today's London Times. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2214663,00.html British computer whiz-kid exports terror via internet By Daniel McGrory An e-mail trail has led to the arrest of suspects across the world who were recruited and then schooled in bombmaking AN INTERNET trail left by a British computer expert has led investigators to an intricate terror network spreading from the backstreets of Baghdad through cells of young militants living in European capitals to Islamic extremists plotting car-bomb attacks in North America. For nine months police and intelligence agents in eight countries have patiently worked through a forest of e-mails and intercepted telephone calls that have so far led to the arrest of up to 30 men. Most of these suspects have never met. They had no need. They were recruited, groomed by skilled propagandists and schooled in bombmaking via the internet. A senior security source told The Times that there is a far greater number of terror networks operating in Britain than had been thought, all using the internet to plot attacks here and abroad.
