>From media reports you would believe that they are mainly some barbarians that may have or may have not access to electricity, never mind net access.

Isn't that what all reports after 9/11 would have you believe of al-qaeda and the taliban? Complete with videos of masked men "training" in deserts by jumping over logs and climbing ropes? And Reports that Bin Laden is hiding in mountains?

Meanwhile Bin Laden was living in a large compound in Pakistan all but protected by the Pakistani military and I believe 8 of the 9/11 hijackers had degrees in engineering and a couple PhDs among them.
