Hat tip to Jihadica for some clarity on the flurry of articles:http://www.jihadica.com/inspire-2/

The second edition of an AQ periodical is out. This paragraph IMHO supports my closing comment:
Perhaps most interesting are the advice on how to avoid detection:

Do not travel abroad for jihad – act on US soil instead.
Do not use mobile phones and the Internet for any jihad-related communication – if you have to, use coded language and encryption tools.
If you are clean stay clean – do not interact with other activists.
Do not access jihadi websites – get your jihadi propaganda fix from anti-jihadi monitoring sites such as MEMRI and SITE.

Obviously, someone who follows these guidelines is going to be extremely difficult to catch. The question is how many people are ready to act in this way. Khan’s strategy presupposes that individuals can aquire the motivation to die for the cause almost in a vacuum. However, in most historical cases, individuals only acquired this motivation after interacting with other radicals, going abroad for jihad, or accessing jihadi propaganda - all of which are activities discouraged by Samir Khan. Of course there have been exceptions, such as the Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hassan, but even he was not completely “clean”, as evidenced by his email correspondence with Anwar al-Awlaki. Decentralized jihad is indeed a scary concept, but it does not necessarily work.
