Yassin Musharbash, writing in Spiegel, on Al-Qaida’s virtual university for Jihad:
There is mounting evidence that this strategic decision has been paying off for some time. The Madrid train bombers, for example, downloaded the plans they used to make their bombs from the Internet. And the presumed terrorists who were arrested in Australia in November 2005 before they were able to launch their attacks also found their bomb-making instructions somewhere on the Worldwide Web. These descriptions are by no means complex, as a tragic incident in Norway in August 2005 demonstrated. Two brothers of Syrian descent, 17 and 19 years old, used instructions from the Internet to build a bomb with which they probably intended to blow up an ATM. But the device exploded prematurely, killing the younger and seriously injuring the older brother.
