[thelakelander]

Three Muslims in England who used the Internet to incite terrorist attacks included Mayport Naval Station among their targets.

The men were convicted in London of inciting terrorist murder on the Internet and given sentences of six and a half to 10 years. The sentencing came after a two-month trial. The men were arrested in October 2005.

Details of the plans were found on a Web site run by one of the three and included discussion of using car bombs and rocket-propelled grenades to attack Mayport.

CYBERTERROR AND ID THEFT CONVERGE IN LONDON

It was hailed as the world's first real cyberterrorism trial. Three British men, all teen-agers when their careers began, were accused of using the Internet to raise money, incite hatred, and help plan terrorist attacks. Two months into the trial, all three suddenly pled guilty this week.

As details emerge of their cyber-terror plots, their case provides a chilling look at what can happen when jihad spills over onto the Internet.
