Al-Qaida porn: Terror group hid plans in sex video, reports say Al-Qaida documents discovered by German cryptologists last year—which included planned future terror plots—were found inside a pornographic video carried by an alleged operative, CNN, citing Germany's Die Zeit newspaper, reported on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's killing. The future plots—including a plan to seize a cruise ship, and another to carry out gun attacks similar to the Pakistani militant shootings that killed 164 in Mumbai in 2008—were found inside an adult film (called "Kick Ass") and in a file marked "Sexy Tanja" on memory cards hidden in a 22-year-old Austrian man's underwear last May. The man, Maqsood Lodin, was interrogated by police in Berlin after returning from Pakistan via Budapest, CNN said. His name was on a terror watch list when he was detained.

News Documents reveal al Qaeda's plans for seizing cruise ships, carnage in Europe Buried inside them was a pornographic video called "Kick Ass" -- and a file marked "Sexy Tanja." Several weeks later, after laborious efforts to crack a password and software to make the file almost invisible, German investigators discovered encoded inside the actual video a treasure trove of intelligence -- more than 100 al Qaeda documents that included an inside track on some of the terror group's most audacious plots and a road map for future operations. http://articles.cnn.com/2012-04-30/...eda-leader-senior-al-cruise-ships?_s=PM:WORLD Educational reading...
That has to be the first and only time we may see the word 'Porn' and Educational Reading in a single post.
Maybe I'm getting cynical in my old age but I'm gonna call bullfeathers. seems too easy to say, he was hiding it in his underwear. If this had truly been important material, why hide it in underwear? How many times have you gone through the airport with a memory card in your cell phone and/or digital camera? WTF? This sounds like nothing but a manufactured reason to tighten the screws on citizens to keep them 'Safe'
Just curious, but how is this considered news? This has been know for at least the past 5 years... I mean if a dumb redneck like me knew it, I am certain the Bush administration knew it.
The beauty of Stego encryption is the art of hiding in plain site. If you wanted to bury documents in files, you leave them in your laptop buried in the file called 2012_Operating Budget.School.xls, or in a folder on your camera called Bernie's Wedding. or, you place them in Dropbox and not have to carry them around at all... You do not draw attention to your contraband by hiding it in porn and then hiding it in your a**. This is highly likely propaganda to scare sheep into further submission/acceptance of Heavy Boots.
Could be pure propaganda or it could be real; as I trust neither side who knows? Admittedly, if one's desire was to instill terror some of what was published would accomplish that easily; however, if one wished to justify an even greater paramilitary force it would easily accomplish that also. After all, it was 0bama who proposed a paramilitary force equal in might to our military...
Could be a case of a wannabe 'mall terrorist' playing secret agent man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
