This Tuesday, a researcher of Saudi Arabia said in a national security conference that there are currently about 5600 websites around the world spreading Al-Qaeda's ideology. Saudi Arabia has identified the Internet as the main battleground to fight with terrorists. When the Information Technology and National Security Conference was held in Riyadh, Khaled al-Faram said in his speech that more than 5600 websites on the Internet are promoting Al-Qaeda's ideology. 900 websites appear every year. Although the media operated by Al-Qaeda is decreasing, the number of terrorism websites keeps growing.
