Al Qaeda Plans for World Domination found in Porn vid

On May 16 last year, a 22-year-old Austrian named Maqsood Lodin was being questioned by police in Berlin. He had recently returned from Pakistan via Budapest, Hungary, and then traveled overland to Germany. His interrogators were surprised to find that hidden in his underpants were a digital storage device and memory cards.

I bet they thought they were pretty clever, hiding their islamic terrorist plots in western hedonistic pleasure-seeking blasphemy. This actually reminds me of a Tom Clancy book I read recently where the terrorists encoded their messages in picture files on Flicker or something.

They needn't have bothered targeting cruise ships though, we are doing just fine crashing them on our own.

OTOH, I always wonder why info like this gets released. If the intel was such a goldmine, why are we telling everyone about it? Either we are very, very successful at intercepting such plots and can afford to throw some info to the media for PR purposes, or somebody is just desperate to score PR points by reporting another terrorist plot foiled. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to tell the enemy you have been reading their mail.

Isn't that type of encriptation against sharia law?

Some of it will be PR purposes. It's hard to maintain public support for all the security measures if those measures never snag a terrorist. But a lot of it is the legal process. If they want to charge this guy with anything then the evidence usually has to be made public.

Fear not, as long as the women were veiled, mutilated and the man were relatives in said video, it is fully Sharia compliant.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This one is not very surprising, since it seems that suicide bombers are authorized to drink and frequent prostitutes before operations, as with the 9/11 and Thailand attacks dudes.

Makes sense, didn't think about the legal side of things. I just hope we aren't making all of these foiled plots public.

It was also almost a year ago. They might have felt they got as much as they could from it.

Wouldn't it be a bit less obvious if he hadn't stuck them down his pants? Way to think with your penis instead of your head.

ba-dum, cha...

[Grouchio]

So with this info we should be able to nab the rest of Al Qaeda?

Encrypting messages in racy photographs has been known about for a long time, since there are so many of them floating around it must be nearly impossible for the NSA to download and sniff them out. However, I would have thought cat videos would now be the purrfect cover, since anyone can access them on Youtube.

They're just a bunch of hypocrites. It's actually perfect for their objective of terrorism against humanitarian foes. The good ole' Islamic Samaritans raise 8 kids that grow up to join the military (A.K.A. terrorist organization; wink, wink) and then the rest of the people disown them and say they're not with them and yet they raised them, harbor them, and give them all the supplies to carry out their attacks. So yes, it definitely is... but what are we going to do about it? Nothing, because that wouldn't be "stereotyping" to say that the rest of them are hypocrites, too.

Austrian named Maqsood Lodin

A retarded name for a so-called ''Austrian''.

A bit like the Chinaman named ''John B. Smith''.

So, Austria for the Austrians and China for the Chinese?

Yes indeed.

Only if your definition of Austrian and Chinese is if your name seems Austrian or Chinese.

I'm sure Maqsood Lodin is a white person in appearance with hundreds or perhaps 50 thousands years of cultural and geographical ancestry in Europe. It only makes sense. He's an ''Austrian'' after all.

[motiv-8]

Hey man, like we said. Austria for Austrians. But only real Austrians using our special brand of Austrianism. After all nobody of any ethnic group would dare change their name to something else, ain't that right Cat Stevens, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Cassius Clay?
