“Computer-Encoded Atomic Bombings”

By Jim Rossignol on August 2nd, 2007 at 11:38 am.

Shocking news from The Australian, which reveals that Second Life has become a terrorist training camp:

On the darker side, there are also weapons armouries in SL where people can get access to guns, including automatic weapons and AK47s. Searches of the SL website show there are three jihadi terrorists registered and two elite jihadist terrorist groups.

Once these groups take up residence in SL, it is easy to start spreading propaganda, recruiting and instructing like minds on how to start terrorist cells and carry out jihad.

One radical group, called Second Life Liberation Army, has been responsible for some computer-coded atomic bombings of virtual world stores in the past six months.

Egad! All is lost. In other news: “The terrorists have planted the bomb.” “Terrorists Win.”
