Propaganda? - ShadowSpear Special Operations
Hackers prevented Al Qaeda from releasing a videotape to mark the seventh anniversary of 9/11.
Al Qaeda has traditionally issued a video or audiotape by either Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri, the terror networks two leaders, to mark their massive terrorist attack on the US.
As-Sahab, Al Qaedas media unit, had indicated earlier this week that it would post such a videotape on September 11.
As-Sahab had banner images on the internet showing a silhouetted head with a question mark and the words, Wait 11 September.
The US-based intelligence group IntelCenter had speculated the video would be a message from Osama or Zawahiri with a recording of the last will and testament of Mohammed Atta, one of the leaders of the 9/11 attackers.
Sources close to US intelligence said, Hackers knocked out Al Qaedas online means of communication, thus preventing them from posting anything to commemorate the anniversary.
Western intelligence suspects two hackers who have targeted Islamicist sites before were responsible: Aaron Weisburd from Internet Haganah and Rusty Shackleford from the web group My Pet Jawa.

Both have been active in ongoing Internet battle between Islamicist hackers and their opponents.
Terrorism expert B Raman says, I received word two days ago that it was possible the tape would not be released because of hackers. He noted: As Sahab is having problems.
(Al Qaeda spokesperson) Adam Gadan, in charge of the website, has not been heard of for six months.
There are reports he may have been killed in Pakistan. He expects the tape to be issued three or four days from now.
Or they will send it to Al Jazeera.
This is not the first time hackers have dented the plans of the worlds deadliest terror network.
In 2004, a hacker group called TeAmZ USA had knocked out the websites of Abu Musal al-Zarqawi, late head of the Al Qaeda in Iraq, for showing tapes of Westerners being beheaded.
The hackers left the image of a gun-toting penguin on the website.
Last years Al Qaeda anniversary videotape included a eulogy by Bin Laden to 9/11 attacker Waleed al Shehri and his video will a recording made by suicide bombers before they carry out their missions.
Al Qaeda failed to issue an anniversary tape in 2004 as well, leading to speculation Bin Laden had died.
Last year, Washington released the anniversary tape two days before Al Qaeda did.
Says Raman, This was probably to deliberately show the US had hacked the password to Al Qaedas website.

Now I know why he doesn't spend much time on this site
Hmm...part of an IO campaign?
I doubt it since hackers have done this before.
For once, I'm glad to have some lawlessness on our side.
Even if it is Rusty.

We must get the keyboard commandos on our side.

I take this with a pinch of salt.
Maybe a bit more than a pinch.
This is the same group that announced they had intercepted a plot for the opening of Beijing.
No other intel companies or government intel sources have verified this.
That's one angel.
The other is, how can hacking a system prevent releasing a video?
If the system could be infiltrated, why was the entire H/D notr copied and erased?
Too many questions here;
I call it a marketing ploy, or should we say a propaganda exercise :-)

Accurate speculation, or fact?
