Al-Qaida plans cyber war against Britain: Top UK minister

LONDON: Britain faces growing threat from the al-Qaida, which is on track to launch a cyber-warfare campaign against the country, UK's security minister has warned.

Lord West warned that al-Qaida is aiming to use the internet to launch a cyber-warfare campaign against Britain.

"We know terrorists use the internet for radicalisation and things like that at the moment, but there is a fear they will move down that path (of cyber attacks)," he was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Britain's security minister issued the warning as he published the government's new cyber security strategy to combat the cyber-warfare threats.

Last two 10 years terrorist uses the internet for the communication and other purpose as well. But i think the controlling agencies are also active to stop this. Their are so many countries which are facing the cyber crime. We must focus on this site as well.
