Two arrested for using university computers for Islamist militant propaganda
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
An Algerian and a Moroccan were arrested on suspicion of using the computer system at the University of Geneva to spread propaganda about Islamist militant groups over the Internet, local police said.
A journalist for the German-language newspaper Weltwoche who graduated from the university in Geneva told school officials that the computer system was being used to send hate messages and to make excuses for Islamist terrorist attacks.
After receiving the report, the university filed a complaint against unknown perpetrators last Tuesday.
Searches by police and university officials led to detaining a 27-year-old Moroccan, who did not have papers to stay in Switzerland, and a 41-year-old Algerian, who had gone into hiding when his petition for asylum was dismissed.
