The Politics of Jihadi Forums
I have been watching with interest over the last two days how the AQAP statement of responsibility has been moving around the al-Faluja forum. First it started in the general forum, where I read it last night, then earlier today it moved over to the section reserved for official statements, and now it has its own banner headline.
I’m not sure what this tells us – I’m sure people with more general knowledge of forums than I have (ahem: Will McCants and Thomas Hegghammer) will have a better idea.
