Posting and boasting his way to prominence, Irhabi007 started appearing on radical Islamist bulletin boards and in chat rooms. For his user I.D., he melded “irhabi,” which means “terrorist” in Arabic, to the code number of the world’s most famous, albeit fictional, British secret agent.
Like radar in the last century, the Internet is a radical new tool that is helping to redefine the dimensions of warfare. For al-Qaeda, the shadowy terrorist organization behind 9/11, the Net is helping it to be everywhere … and nowhere.
But there are real people, in real space, maintaining what is, in effect, al-Qaeda’s I.T. department. Last October, the most important member of that group so far — the man who has been called “the Godfather of cyber-terrorism” — was arrested. He is a 22-year-old Muslim immigrant to Great Britain named Younis Tsouli.
On that cold autumn morning, police raided the West London flat where Tsouli lived and worked, and arrested him. As they entered, Tsouli was reportedly putting the finishing touches on a Web page titled “You Bomb It.” On his hard drive, police said they found a video of how to make a car bomb, and another showing several locations in Washington, D.C. Tsouli, now residing in Belmarsh Prison in England, is expected to go on trial in January, along with two other young Muslim immigrants arrested at the same time.
