"AN INTERNET trail has led investigators to an intricate terror network spreading from the back streets of Baghdad through cells of young militants living in European capitals to Islamic extremists plotting car bomb attacks in North America.For nine months, Operation Mazhar's police and intelligence agents in eight countries have patiently worked through a mass of emails and intercepted telephone calls that have so far led to the arrest of up to 30 males. Most of these suspects have never met. They had no need. They were recruited, groomed by propagandists and schooled in bombmaking via the internet."
