It's a pretty well established fact that terrorism has made it to the virtual realm that is the internet. Jihadists have proven their ability to utilize resources like YouTube and blogs to spread their propaganda for years now.
However as of recently there have been rumors of plans to step things up to the social networking level, specifically facebook. Naturally this would pose major difficulties to anyone involved, as stated by professor Marc Lynch of George Washington University, "How do you get your people in, and keep intelligence agents out?" Certain resources mention plans to have seven "brigades" work together in order to accomplish such goals where certain Jihadists will distribute video and training material, some will focus on Arabic, and others in English.
