Description

Terrorists fight their wars in cyberspace as well as on the ground. However, surprisingly little is known about the threat posed by terrorists’ use of the Internet. Terrorist org. and their supporters maintain hundreds of websites, exploiting the unregulated, anonymous, and easily accessible nature of the Internet to target an array of messages to a variety of audiences. Weimann identifies 8 different ways in which terrorists are using the Internet to advance their cause, ranging from psychological warfare to recruitment, networking to fundraising. In each case, the report illustrates the point with examples culled from an extensive exploration of the Net. This report distills some of the findings from an ongoing, 6-year study of terrorists’ use of the Internet.
