Al-Qaeda Using Porn to Pass Secrets
The German newspaper Die Zeit and CNN reported this week that a Pakistani Al Qaeda operative was caught by German security officials with a memory disk that contained a pornographic video. Embedded inside the video was a file called â??Sexy Tanjaâ? with more than 100 documents outlining plans for terror attacks throughout Europe.Why a porno?
â??The video would be easier to ship and distribute,â? said Kenneth James Ryan, professor of criminology at California State University, Fresno, and a counter-terrorism expert. â??Whoever has ability to decrypt the code would be the intended audience.â?
The next time an Indian lawmaker gets caught watching porn on his phone, he can now claim to be searching for hidden terror messages.
