“Designed to spread the vengeful ideology of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda, a website named Revolution Muslim (RM) was quietly launched into cyberspace in 2007 out of a Brooklyn apartment. RM was the brainchild of New Yorker Jesse Morton and Yousef al-Khattab, two American men who had converted to Islam. Both Al Qaeda recruiters would later be hunted down by American counter-terror agencies, with Morton captured in Morocco after fleeing US soil. The pair were charged with soliciting murder through their RM network. 'My organisation was the first to unashamedly promote the Al Qaeda world view on the streets of the United States,' Morton, 39, told nine.com.au on the phone from his Washington D.C. base. Morton is no longer an Al Qaeda recruiter. While in prison he became an informant for the FBI, and now fights for the other side in the war on terror. A new study, When Terrorists Come Home, co-authored by Morton and a former NYPD counter-terror official, investigates how jihadist prisoners can be returned safely has just been released. The research, conducted in partnership with Counter Extremism Project, a Washington-based think-tank, was based on a number of intensive interviews conducted with jihadists who had been released from prison.”
