Internet Has Become Key Tool for Terrorists - VOA Story

A new report prepared for the U.S. Congress says the worldwide web has become a key tool used by terrorists to spread their message and recruit followers. The study says the U.S. government has not done enough to fight the terrorists in cyberspace. VOA's Deborah Tate reports from Capitol Hill.

The study, prepared by a task force under the direction of the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute, says terrorist organizations have become more sophisticated in using the Internet to recruit new fighters, sympathizers and financial supporters.
