U.S. Army officials said that popular blogging service Twitter is a highly potential tool for terrorist organizations, according to a report released on Sunday by AFP.

The army’s suspicions about Twitter were included in a report by the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion. The chapter which refers to the blogging service is entitled “Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter” and basically signals the increasing use of modern-day technology along with Twitter by numerous political and religious groups.

The U.S. Army report signals with concern the fact that Twitter has become a very useful tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others.

“Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives,” said the Army report, which can be found on the Federation of the American Scientists website.

The report also focuses on newer applications for mobile phones such as digital maps, GPS locators and many more. The army report analyzes discussions on Al-Qaeda-affiliated online forums and the fact that terrorists and followers are discussing about the benefits of modern-day technology and how it can be used to coordinate a terrorist attack.

One of the online conversations was reportedly about the benefits of "using a mobile phone camera to monitor the enemy and its mechanisms," while another was about how one can use a Nokia 6210 Navigator for "marksmanship, border crossings, and in concealment of supplies" through the cell phone’s GPS functions.

Another similar, online chat focused on how terrorists could use voice-modification software in order to conceal their identity when making phone calls. Using the above-mentioned features as well as many other and adding Twitter use to that may have a bigger impact.

"Twitter was recently used as a countersurveillance, command and control, and movement tool by activists at the Republican National Convention," the Army report notes.

"The activists would Tweet each other and their Twitter pages to add information on what was happening with Law Enforcement near real time."
