| Has rise to fame | Daniel Pearl went to [[Pakistan]] to inves … Daniel Pearl went to [[Pakistan]] to investigate about Richard Reid, a terrorist who tried and failed to blow up an airplane with his shoes. Pearl was told that he could meet with some guys who had information about the "Shoe Bomber". Instead of information, the men had rope and duct tape. They created a very clever e-mail account, "kidnapperguy@hotmail.com" - then sent ransom e-mails to Pearl's newspaper depicting him in handcuffs, with a gun pointed to his head. The kidnappers then released a video of Pearl being interrogated as the kidnappers posted visual commentaries, making it the terrorist equivalent of a [[livejournal]] blog. Then the video depicted Pearl's head without his body, and a list of demands against the US government scrolled upwards. When the video went online, it made the internet hate the terrorists who did it. But the kidnappers forgot to [[proxy]]. Remember the kidnapperguy@hotmail.com e-mails? The governments got the IP addresses, and the men responsible were [[partyvan]]ned. Instead of intimidating people, the terrorists made everybody hate them, and the terrorists went to prison. Other terrorist videos, including those of [[Nick Berg]], came from [[Iraq]]. hose of [[Nick Berg]], came from [[Iraq]]. |
