Al-Qaeda Using Internet to Recruit in Germany, Government Says - by Alan Crawford

Al-Qaeda is targeting potential recruits in Germany through the Internet, the government said, confirming a newspaper report that militant Islamists may be planning a terrorist attack in Germany.

German intelligence services have observed an increase in the number of German-language Internet sites that promote al- Qaeda, including video sites with German subtitles, a government spokesman told a news conference in Berlin today. The sites focus on recruitment of potential volunteers, spreading a radical message and providing technical information such as bomb-making instructions, the government said. Germany is increasingly in the sights of al-Qaeda, it said.
