The "Electronic Jihad" program featured on--sometimes up and sometimes down--the Al-jinan.org website promoted use of an application for users to install and use to target specific IP addresses for DOS (Denial of Service) attacks. A British Court convicted three following their association with this website.
The AHN news reported 5 July 2007 that a British Court Jailed three "cyber-Jihadists" for using the Internet to incite violence. The trio were sentenced to between six-and-a half to 10 years in jail. The three defendants, Tariq Al-Daour, Younes Tsouli and Waseem Mughal evidenced close ties with al Qaeda in Iraq. Judge Charles Openshaw characterized their crime as a "cyber jihad" to convince Internet users to kill non-believers. Tsouli, 23, is a Moroccan-born resident of west London; UAE-born Al-Daour, 21, is also from west London, and Mughal, 24, is British-born, The trio also plead guilty to a bank, credit card and charge card conspiracy worth $3.6 million dollars.
