Dear All,

I work for a reseller of Kaspersky AV products. We received a partner 
forum e-mail from KAV-AVP founder Eugene Kaspersky himself 
explaining all this.

Therefore, I can confirm that Eugene Kaspersky and Alex Gostev DID 
indeed say these "August 26 is an expected Electronic Jihad" warning 
sentences on a press conference in Moscow the day before. They said 
the planned attack is a massive anti-Israel hacking campaign.

However, my personal opionion is: cyber-terrorism is still a lesser threat 
compared to strap-on-bombs and blow-people-up type conventional 
terrorism.

The chechen-related simultaneous crashes of two russian airliners this 
morning shows that bloody killing is still sufficiently effective for 
terrorism purposes and real-life dead have more negative effect on the 
population morale than any virtual jihad.

By the way, talking about terror and Israel: two hundred storks have 
just been killed in Dimona, when a giant outdoor acidic vat belonging to 
the secret jewish nuclear bomb making facility was left wide open and 
birds landed on it.

Sincerely, Tamas Feher.
