The first picture in Gravdigr's post gave my memory a nudge.

There was an article in last week's Sunday Times about the joint UK/USA mission to track down the so called 'Jihadi John'.

Robert Hannigan, a former director of GCHQ, said:

Quote:
“For us at GCHQ this was a largely desk screen-based campaign,” said Hannigan.
“If you looked at a picture of Raqqa you would see these little VSat terminals — these little satellite dishes all over the roofs.
And they were connecting direct to the internet and that is the way that people were communicating.

They were not using telephone company GSM [Global System for Mobile communication] networks because they didn’t trust them.”
I might be barking up the wrong tree and, as Gravdigr says, they're probably all watching Fox News.

Or test match cricket.


The article is behind a paywall but there might be a limited number of free articles, so here's the Link.
