Al qaida web releases? They always announce them, but I've never been able to find a link to one. I know that may be do to the fact that the releases are in arabic and me searching for english text wont help, but I'd think they'd put out something trying to reach the audience their trying to reach.

1. I've often wondered how they know where to go to look for this stuff.
I mean, I've searched and searched and I'm no Google slouch. I've also been an investigative reporter.

Surely someone phones in a tip and then the press never releases the URL.

2. I doubt anyone would phone it in
maybe emails, using a phone wouldnt be the smartest idea. From how the news organizations say it, these websites are things they find online... I dunno I guess I need someone who speaks arabic to help me find one, I'd like to at least see one.

3. I speak Arabic. My ex husband is Arabic.
But I still haven't found any.

And, now I have to go to work, so I can't hang around and help you. Maybe later tonight we'll sleuth?

4. The release was posted yesterday on some website
and then pulled down just a few hours later.
