Stupid Jihadist Tricks: Facebook Status Update About Mass-Murderous Plans
If you're going to blow up an embassy, best not to announce it on Facebook.
From the AP, that's what Sefa Riano did.
One status update in late April apologizes to his parents before telling them goodbye. Another declares ominously, "God willing, I will take action at the Myanmar Embassy, hope you will share responsibility for my struggle." It ends with a yellow smiley face.Days later, police arrested Riano, whose Facebook name is Mambo Wahab, just before midnight in central Jakarta. Police say he and another man were on a motorbike carrying a backpack filled with five low-explosive pipe bombs tied together. Riano, 29, is awaiting charges related to allegations that he plotted to bomb the embassy to protest the persecution of Muslims in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.







If I were more enterprising, I'd create a Facebook rival for Muslims: JihadiBook.
Of course, I'd give the NSA unfettered access, and bury that factoid in an incomprehensively long Acceptable Use Policy that no one would ever read.
And charge them user fees for "secure communications".
