I've Been Thinking:
Great Britain arrested a cyber terrorist named Samata Ullah, he is 34 years old.
Ullah was the cyber librarian- one stop shopping for everything you need as a terrorist. He taught anyone and everyone about missiles, bombs encryption and whatever terrorists need to know. He even hid his material in cuff-links.
Head of the counter terrorism squad in England Commander Dean Haydon said this about Samata Ullah:
"He was an internet terrorist. He had set up a self-help library for terrorists around the world and they were using his library.
"There was guidance on encryption, ways to avoid detection from police and security services, expert tuition around missile systems and a vast amount of propaganda.
"He was self-taught. He has accessed it online himself and compiled a lot of material and put it into his own library.
"He has created a one-stop shop for terrorists.
"In my view he was a very dangerous individual although he was operating from his bedroom.
Mr Haydon added: "Just because Ullah's activity was in the virtual world, we never underestimated how dangerous his activity was.
"He sat in his bedroom in Wales and created online content with the sole intention of aiding people who wanted to actively support Isis and avoid getting caught by the authorities.
"This is just the sort of information that may have helped people involved in planning devastating, low technical level attacks on crowded places as we have seen in other cities across the world."
Samata Ullah was arrested in September with the help of the Kenyan police who told British police about him. The information has only been released now.
