Al-Qaeda Chatter on UseNet?
by Elonka at 2:33 pm EDT, Aug 5, 2003

] There exists a series of 'nonsense' postings in Usenet.
] (Please no jokes about Usenet already being full of
] nonsense). Obviously computer generated. These often
] have Arabic names interspersed in the content.
]
] One speculation is they might just be 'merry pranksters'
] posting vast amounts of nonsense to confuse Usenet
] readers.
]
] Another speculation is this might be the 'increased
] al-Qaeda chatter' we hear about when the Home Land
] Security changes the color to a redder hue. Note the
] increase just after Dec. 22 (the date that the Shoe
] Bomber was captured trying to blow up Miami to Paris,
] flight AA 63). We need to do a lot more research on this.

Some of it also looks to me like random computer-generated fiction sent to lists such as "alt.test". Still, I agree it's worth checking.
