US intelligence services may have already started the war in cyberspace =96=
=20
many of the world's jihad sites are off line.

The expertise of jihadists and Osama bin Laden's supporters took the US by=
=20
surprise, and their websites were influential in radicalising Muslims=20
around the world.

Australia's support for the US has led to an increasing number of mentions.

Now out of service are such major sites as Taliban Online, which was at=20
www.muslimthai.com on a Bangkok server, and islammemo.com, regarded as a=20
reliable source of al-Qa'ida information.

Anti-US, anti-Christian and extremist websites such as jehad-online.com,=20
eljihad.com, mojahedoon.com and khayma.com are all off line.

In Australia, the Islamic Youth Movement site at islam.org.au has not been=
=20
updated for months.

Australian National University director of terrorism studies Clive Williams=
=20
said it was "well within the realms of possibility" that the US Government=
=20
had been closing the sites, but it could also be hackers at work.

Terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna said many jihad sites were under=20
increasing pressure from law enforcement authorities and moderate Muslim=20
leaders.

"Increasingly governments are taking criminal justice measures to control=20
websites that instigate hatred and solicit murder," he said. "We are seeing=
=20
a new brand of terrorism that we call the loner terrorist =96 these are=20
Muslims who read these websites and get inspired to instigate attacks."
