Al Qaeda is plotting a jihad on the internet against Britain and the West, and has launched teams to target key computer systems, officials said.

Terrorists have even tried to invade Facebook in their "campaign of electronic warfare", The Sun reported.

The Google Earth and Street View applications are being used by the terrorists to plan out atrocities, it said.

Security officials in Britain say cyber terrorism will become an ever growing threat.

A 123-page counter-terror report said a special unit - called the Tariq bin Ziyad Brigades for Electronic Jihad - attacked computers last year.

Tentacles of Terrorism: In America, a home-grown jihad!

Have you read, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

PRAVEEN SWAMI / The Hindu.

Tahawwur Rana is just one of at least 180 residents and citizens of the U.S. held since the tragic events 9/11 on charges of aiding Islamist terror groups. Photo shows a copy of Mr. Rana's passport.

“Mo-Mo,” his friends called the slim young Oregon State University student who parked a white van filled with what he thought were explosives at a crowded Christmas tree-lighting in Portland last year.

Federal Bureau of Investigations agents arrested Mohamed-Mohamed Mohamud as he repeatedly dialled the cellphone that should have triggered a devastating blast in the midst of the 25,000-strong crowd — if the explosives hadn't in fact been harmless putty, planted by undercover officers.

“You know what I like to see,” court documents show Somalia-born Mohamud asking one undercover operative? “Is when I see the enemy of Allah then, you know, their bodies are torn everywhere [sic.].”

The New York Times, he said of the planned bombing, “will give it two thumbs up.”

For many in the United States, the unfolding trial of Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian businessman who prosecutors allege aided the 26/11 attacks, represents fresh evidence of a growing threat to their homeland.

The American jihadists.....

Very chilling to note that they are among us, everywhere!
