Al-Qaeda Suffers From Communications Problems In Cyberspace



Since September 10th 2008 Al-Qaeda has had a problem with their web based forums. Only leaving one currently operational.

The trouble has forced them to issue statements to their followers to no trust look alike sites and stated on September 29th that they were down for technical reasons.

The report by the Washington Post noted there have been several examples in recent years of extremist Web sites being attacked by hackers, though it isn't clear who the hackers are nor whether the United States is involved in the attempts to disable the terrorist communication network.
