"Beirut (AFP) - Jihadist groups tied to the men who attacked France's Charlie Hebdo magazine and a Paris kosher supermarket are waging an increasingly sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting Western recruits, experts say. Organisations ranging from the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria to Al-Qaeda and even the Somali Al-Shebab g
roup have sought to exploit the anonymity and reach of the Internet to attract Western members. They urge recruits to come to the battlefield, but also encourage them to carry out violence at home. Jihadist groups have targeted Western recruits for decades, but the Internet has revolutionised their approach, according to Clint Watts, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. "Thirty years ago it took a long time to get everyone to Afghanistan" where jihadists were fighting Soviet troops, he said. "Now they propagate through social media, that's why it can happen so quickly, they can rapidly ramp up recruitment." The three men involved in the France attack appear to be linked to different jihadist groups. The two brothers who targeted Charlie Hebdo were linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which is based in Yemen. The third attacker appears to have pledged allegiance to IS. Jihadists use a variety of media for their message."
