March 15, 2006 - U.S. and British investigators appear to have inflicted
a major blow to the online jihadist movement by arresting a U.K.-based
terror suspect. The officials now believe the man British authorities
are holding is an influential Islamic extremist cyberwarrior who used as
his pseudonym an Arabic word for terrorist. NEWSWEEK was asked by U.S.
authorities not to publish the suspect's Web user name because of
continuing investigations.
