Al Qaeda's secret agent -- online�-�Editorials/Op-Ed�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper:
"Until late 2005, the Internet hacker who called himself 'Irhabi 007' -- 'irhabi' is Arabic for 'terrorist' -- was a key enabler of Abu Musab Zarqawi's Internet recruiting and propaganda efforts outside Iraq. He is now in custody in the United Kingdom. It turns out 'Irhabi' is a 22-year-old West Londoner fluent in Arabic and English whose rather unremarkable combination of Islamist sympathies and technological aptitude ended up making him indispensable to the world's most dangerous terror network. The story of how and why he was apprehended, just now trickling out thanks to researchers at the Washington-based SITE Institute, suggests a mix of technological savvy and old-fashioned gumshoeing to fight the Internet jihad.
