Internet no safe haven for terrorism

People have benefited enormously from the development of the Internet. However, terrorist organizations are also making extensive use of this global network to turn it into a new battlefield. Terrorists spread propaganda, glorify extremist ideologies and promote violence via the Internet, and they use it to recruit terrorists and incite individuals to commit terrorist acts by sharing operational instructions, explosive making methods and practical guides. The Internet is also used for fund-raising by many terrorist groups. Furthermore, some terrorists have launched cyberattacks against key institutions and networks.
