It's in arabic, so I can't read it...

Does anyone else think it's hilarious that they have a website?

:)


SBS: Any type of organization it seems like needs a website to appear legitimate to others. Sign of modern times, I guess. In olden times it used to be fancy stationary.

Not that I'm trying to argue, but I think we should publish the website in as many places as possible...it's sure to clog their server's 14k connection.

My god, I bet they still use frames. They are SO behind...

Why would'nt they... they have more then 2 people so that means that in order for them to effective communicate you must have a web presence. I also recommend that they transform their site from using static code to one with more dynamic code, possibly something like php.. I also recommend... oops... going into that tech mode again ;)

There was a story a few months ago about some one hijacking thier domain and logging all the traffic from it to see where "terrorists" were coming from. Basically traffic was from all over but the US accounted for a lot of it since people were curious and used the net to seek out info.

Thus why I think it's so damn funny...the need for a terrorist organization in the middle of the desert feeling the need for "legitimacy" based on our western invention.

I get this mental image of a small group of guys sitting around a Commodore64 in a cave with "HTML for Dummies", all yelling at eachother trying to write code.

I'm sorry, I just think it's funny.

Why ? It's not like they live in a cave or something. Uhh, wait, never mind.

Finally, someone who didn't take my comment so damn seriously. :)

I forget where I saw it, but it's my understanding that they use the website to encode messages to their field operatives. The may change a color here, a picture there, use some phraseology that contains code words.

It's brilliant actually. No need to make direct contact and possibly compromise information. Train them in the encoding practices and send them on their merry way.

Maybe we should do something like that. ;)

What I thought was better was the conversation that must have come before...

Osama - Why are you disturbing me?

Number 1 - So sorry your heinousness...I have an idea.

Osama - What is it?

Number 1 - Sir, I think...I suggest...sir, I think we need a website.

Osama - A what? Why?

Number 1 - Legitimacy Osama, legitimacy. Any terrorist organization can kill people...we need something that will set us apart.

Osama - Set us apart?

Number 1 - Yes, set us apart. We need a quality website with banners and advertisement, some of that cool new flash animation, and secure online ordering for the keychains and refrigerator magnets that just came in. It's the only way that we can be taken seriously and stand apart from our competition.

Osama (in his best Picard voice) - Make it so.

The end.

:)

Actually, the voice of 'Number 1' made me think of Darth Vader's voice. LMAO.

You could do that by going to all the porn sites and signing up for free porn emails. This way, they would get a daily dose of western decadence also. I can just see Al-Queda firing their webmaster for having porn on his machine.

Ok Bill, I'm game. Let's spam the hell out of them. I'll get the ones for the shopping networks (bikinis for the covered women).

It's really wierd that i cannot seem to find this news at any other newspapers. The paper that reports this is is one of Norways most serious newspapers, that I usually trust. The source is Associated Press. Anyway the statement of Bin Ladens death has now been withdrawn. (Damn! And I got my hopes up). Here the norwegian article. Guess it's just bullshit, and I'm sorry I posted this thread in the first place. :S>:(
Here is a quick translatinon:

Withdrew claims of bin Ladens death.
An arabic netsite now apologies for that they wednesday worried Osama bin Laden (ObL) followers with an article claiming he was dead.
"I am zorry for this article, First I want to say that ObL is alive", writes a man who identifies himself as Abou Ja'far al-Kuwaiti. The name i s supposed to be an alias which reflects him as a ObL follower, located in Kuwait, writes the news agency AP.
...
The author of the article claims he was withness to on of USAs bomb attacks on Tora Bora, Afganistan in desember last year. But he writes in the article that there were a man named Osama Al-Adani that was killed.
Misunderstandig
He claimed wednesday afternoon that a arabic tv station had quoted from the article, but misunderstood the content and reported ObL killed. He demands imidiate corrections of this.
What really happend to ObL and his officers is unknown. USA and its allies has in the fight against terror searched wast mountains in Afganistan without finding the important leaders.
Escaped
The writer further claims that ObL escaped by leaving the cave just before an american B-52 unloaded it's deadly cargo over it. He thinks the bombing was so precise that the american had to be tipped about the whereabout of ObL
