ISIS Help Desk for Terrorists
2015-11-17
Hat tip To Grunter, with thanks.
[NBCNews] NBC News has learned that ISIS is using a web-savvy new tactic to expand its global operational footprint -- a 24-hour Jihadi Help Desk to help its foot soldiers spread its message worldwide, recruit followers and launch more attacks on foreign soil.

Counterterrorism analysts affiliated with the U.S. Army tell NBC News that the ISIS help desk, manned by a half-dozen senior operatives around the clock, was established with the express purpose of helping would-be jihadists use encryption and other secure communications in order to evade detection by law enforcement and intelligence authorities.

The relatively new development -- which law enforcement and intel officials say has ramped up over the past year -- is alarming because it allows potentially thousands of ISIS followers to move about and plan operations without any hint of activity showing up in their massive collection of signals intelligence.

Authorities are now homing in on the terror group's growing cyber capabilities after attacks in Gay Paree, Egypt and elsewhere for which ISIS has claimed credit.

#5  Seems the sort of thing Anonymous could have fun with.
"Yes, of course you must test the suicide vest first to make sure it works. Have your fellow cell members nearby so they can provide pointers and tell you if they see anything amiss."

"By all means avoid plastic explosives and C4 as they are unclean and use the grease of the swine in their makeup. Instead use what the West calls Play-Dough when constructing your device."

"French intelligence sources have infiltrated a number of terrorist cells. If you have a member of your cell named Mohammad do not trust them, in fact kill them immediately."

#1  serves the authorities right for thinking they can spy their way out of an ideological war

take the medicine please

do the difficult thing

acknowledge the religious nature of this war,

then ban sharia

and declare war on the caliphate

and use treason laws against its promoters.

there will be howls and yells of islamophobia. Dont care

the people who are yelling are the enemy and do you give a sh*t what they think of you? no. So take action stop trying to be delicate about it
