Vigilantes target Iraq porn surfers
By Afif Sarhan in Baghdad
The Iraqi Aid Association (IAA), a Baghdad-based non-governmental organisation working with displacement, children and youth issues, says dozens of Iraqis have been killed after using the internet to access erotic sites.
Fatah Ahmed, spokesperson for the IAA, said: "We have received information from many sources that militants are operating spies inside internet cafes just to find out who is browsing sites they have deemed offensive to Islam."
Ahmed said most of the killings or abductions happen directly after the victims leave the internet cafes.
"It is very serious because in an Islamic country in which violence is spreading on daily basis, people search for some entertainment and it is found today only on the internet," he said.
"There are no places to go so young people are making friends via chatrooms which are now also being condemned by Islamic extremists."
