Quote: What's a website, asks judge at internet trial Last Updated: 2:06am BST 18/05/2007 A judge in an "internet terrorism" trial admitted yesterday that he had no idea what a website was. Justice Openshaw admitted he didn't know what a website was Mr Justice Openshaw told stunned prosecutors at Woolwich Crown Court in south London: "The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is." He paid close attention as Prof Tony Sams, a computer expert, explained in detail how the internet works. The defendants, Younis Tsouli, 23, Waseem Mughal, 24, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, allegedly helped distribute Islamic propaganda over the internet in support of al-Qa'eda. Tsouli, who surfed the web using the name Irhabi007 - meaning Terrorist 007 - is said to have links with al-Qa'eda in Iraq. It is also claimed that Tsouli and Mughal became involved in a murder plot by Muslim extremists. Anti-terrorist police were alerted when the two men were arrested in Bosnia with a video showing them preparing a suicide bomb vest. Mughal, of Chatham, Kent, and Tsouli of Shepherd's Bush, west London, deny conspiracy to murder and three charges linked to inciting terrorism. Al-Daour, of Paddington, west London, denies conspiracy to defraud and eight counts of inciting terrorism. The trial continues.
