TERRORISTS HIDDEN INTERNET MESSAGES

The practice of hiding messages in downloaded pictures over the Internet is used by terrorists to send messages between terrorists and, to date, these hidden messages cannot be easily detected by government or law enforcement agencies. It is a system of virtually using hidden or invisible ink.

Terrorists are known to use the free Internet services offered by your local libraries or universities all across the U.S. The innocent looking pictures you may see someone downloading off the Internet can easily hide coded messages covering everything from airline flight schedules to command and control messages planning and initiating the next terrorist act!
