The world's most infamous online jihadist has just pled guilty in a U.K.
court to charges of inciting terror and murder, according to the
Counterterrorism Blog.  Younis Tsouli -- a.k.a. "Irhabi 007" -- "won a
notorious reputation for himself as arguably the 'godfather' of Al-Qaida
activity on the Internet," Evan Kohlman writes. "Using only his computer and
a web connection, Tsouli established himself as a webmaster and key
propagandist for Al-Qaida's network in Iraq -- even serving as a
communications 'operator' to secretly connect homegrown would-be suicide
bombers arriving in Syria with official jihadi recruiters working for Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi... Tsouli is expected to receive his sentence back in court
later this week on Thursday or Friday.
