Zitat:Wenn ein junger Tunesier in einem Elektronikmarkt einen Flugsimulator kauft und auch noch fragt, ob der wie im wirklichen Leben arbeitet, dann funktionieren alle Sicherheits-Reflexe.

Die Polizei kommt, der Staatsschutz prüft, der Verfassungsschutz schaut, ob er etwas über den Mann in den Akten hat. Doch so schnell der Reflex anspringt, so sehr kann er trügen: Der Tunesier, der da im November vergangenen Jahres in München einen Flugsimulator kaufen wollte, war nur einsam und wollte sich die Zeit vertreiben.

Für die deutschen Sicherheitsexperten ist ziemlich klar: „Die wirklich Gefährlichen tragen keinen Turban, keinen langen Bart und sie fletschen auch nicht die Zähne.“ Deshalb sollen die Polizisten bundesweit nun nach anderen Anzeichen Ausschau halten.

Bund und Länder haben Ende 2003 beschlossen, dass sie ihre Erkenntnisse über das Vorgehen von möglichen islamistischen Tätern zu einem „Verdachtschöpfungs-Raster“ verdichten.

Anhand von 20 Punkten, alle als „VS – nur für den Dienstgebrauch“ klassifiziert, sollen die Streifenpolizisten erkennen, ob sie es mit einem möglichen „Gefährder“ zu tun haben. Nun rollt diese neue Rasterfahndung an.

Sie soll die herkömmliche Sichtweise der Fahnder durchbrechen. „Wer anständig angezogen ist, kann kein böser Mensch sein, das denken viele“, sagt ein Münchner Ermittler. „Da müssen wir die Kollegen sensibilisieren.“

Zitat:ELEVENTH ISSUE OF SAWT AL-JIHAD RELEASED

SITE Institute


SITE Institute,2/24/2004 - The 11th issue of the al-Qaeda biweekly “Sawt al-Jihad” [Voice of Jihad] online magazine has been released. In this issue, we find three main points of emphasis:

This issue places great emphasis on propaganda, especially through the internet. Time and again, the magazine states that one of the great successes of the mujahideen in the past year was managing to spread their ideas and mobilize public support, despite the Saudi regime’s effort to stop them. In this context, the new Al-Qaeda video entitled “Badr Al-Riyadh” is referred to at length, with great emphasis on its impact. This video, we learn, has set the stage for a new phase, in which people will move from passively supporting the mujahideen to actively joining them in their holy war against the infidels.
