High-Tech Terror : Al-Qaedas Use of New Technology
Despite the considerable resources that the United States has dedi- cated to combating jihadi terrorism since the attacks of September 11, 2001, its primary terrorist enemy, al-Qaeda, has mutated and grown more dangerous. Al-Qaeda today is no longer best conceived of as an organiza- tion, a network, or even a network-of-networks. Rather, by leveraging new information and communication technologies, al-Qaeda has transformed itself into an organic social movement, making its virulent ideology acces- sible to anyone with a computer.
