A new project called the Dark Web Project has been developed at the University of Arizona’s Artificial Intelligence Lab for the purpose of finding and examining online locations where terrorists may work to recruit new members. The project’s goal is to collect and analyze all terrorist-generated content on the Web.

Recent reports have estimated that there are several thousand Web sites created and maintained by known international terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, that attempt to recruit new members to their organizations. So next time you are player a multi-player online Star Wars game, think twice about who is behind the Darth Vader mask asking you to join the Dark Side/Web.
