According to the report, various terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda and Hizballah, are becoming more adept at using the Internet and computer technologies, and the FBI is monitoring an increasing number of cyber threats.

The report singled out a group called Aleph as the terrorist entity that places the highest level of importance on developing cyber skills. "This group identifies itself as a cyber cult and derives millions of dollars a year from computer retailing," it stated.
