Bogdan Gavrila – Core Target

A Dutch counterintelligence agency notices focuses on the growing role of the Internet in Islamic extremist circles – last week I was blogging about IslamTube.

“Jihadis and the Internet” is a report published by the NCC (National Coordinator for Counterterrorism – Netherlands) last month. The Dutch counterintelligence report describes the Internet both as a target and a weapon.

Here are some classifications of terrorist/ jihadi Internet usage:

- information provision
- financing/fund raising
- networking
- recruitment
- psychological warmongering
- information gathering
- publicity and propaganda
- internal communication
- virtual training camp
- virtual islamic state

Btw, I few months ago our servers were under attack – this was the hacker’s message:

Stop Killing Palestinien Kids
GOD BLESS ALL MOUJAHIDINE
FREE : PALESTINE-LIBAN-IRAQ-AFGHAN

Note: One hundred to 200 Dutch radical-Islamic websites are presently active. Up to the present, very little action has been taken against them, according to the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism (NCTb) Tjibbe Joustra.
