FOX's Science & Tech news dept: Terrorists want to Facebook friend you

[Quantess]

EXCLUSIVE: If you're on Facebook, Al Qaeda wants to friend you.

Terrorist groups are using Facebook to share operational information and to target, recruit and radicalize members of the general public, according to a Department of Homeland Security report obtained by FoxNews.com.

According to the November report, terrorists and jihadists use Facebook as:

— a way to share operational and tactical information, including bomb recipes and weapons maintenance;

— a media outlet for propaganda;

— a source of remote reconnaissance for targeting purposes.

“Every person who connects to the Internet with a computer needs to take this issue seriously," says Steve Graham, senior director for EC Council, a cybersecurity certification membership organization. "Reports like this show we are figuratively sitting next to terrorists. So are our friends, our kids and anyone else who types www.”

1. OMG!!!! They'll invade Farmville!!!!

We're Doomed!!!

I guess I'll also have to keep watch on what new recipes show up in CafeWorld.

I think “tactical shooting,” “getting to know your AK-47” and “how to field strip an AK-47" etc. are all articles in the fundie DBA's tech manual at work.

4. More cutting edge "science & tech" reporting from this article:

One forum user outlined "General Goals of the Invasion":

1. Reach the wide base of Muslims who Facebook.
2. Encourage brothers to devise new online media in support of jihadi media.
3. Form a solid base on Facebook and shed light on it as a medium for reaching people.
4. Move from an elite society ( jihadi forums and websites) to mainstream Muslims, their participation, and interact with them.
5. Advance media operations and encourage creativity, innovation, flexibility, and change. Reach large of Crusaders, broadcast the losses of their armies, expose the lies of their leaders, and call Muslims to jihad.

“These posts call for the organized, strategic exploitation of Facebook, recognizing its value as a platform for reaching a wider, younger audience,” the report states.

Posters recognize that forums are visited by already-radicalized jihadi supporters, “whereas Facebook offers a space to interact with “mainstream Muslims” and attract and recruit new supporters.”

How well do you know your Raid Leader? Your Guild Leader? That lvl 1 warrior that you just gifted a gold piece to?

THEY MAY BE TERRORISTS!

Does your raid leader call the weekly raid the 'weekly jihad'? Does your Guild Leader insist on calling you 'Brother'? Take caution, because these are signs of the many, many terrorists that have invaded the World. Of Warcraft.
