Germany: Foreign Minister calls for international campaign against Internet terrorism

Via AFP:
Germany's foreign minister on Friday called for international efforts to eradicate "virtual hiding places" for terrorists who use the internet to plan attacks.

Speaking at a UN Security Council debate on terrorism, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said: "The Internet is increasingly abused by terrorist groups for incitement and recruitment."

He highlighted a case in Germany where an extremist group had used the internet "unnoticed for many years" to "plan vicious attacks and recruit supporters."
