University of Arizona computer scientists say they have quietly assembled the world's largest digital library of intelligence on extremist and terrorist organizations culled from the Web. Researchers hope the project, dubbed the Dark Web, will give them insight into the evolution of terror activity on the Internet, a problem recognized long ago in international intelligence circles and by the U.S. government but one that has become increasingly difficult to track.Many terror and extremist groups, foreign and domestic, have made the Web a primary source of communication by using sophisticated home pages and other online tools to spread their messages and lure recruits. Three years ago, UA's Artificial Intelligence Lab created a virtual library that uses supercomputers to store millions of Web pages, capture chatter on terrorist forums and copy videos showing gruesome attacks and murders."
