The two most wanted terrorists in Southeast Asia - A Malaysian and a Singaporean - are on the run in the Philippines, but they manage to keep their friends and family updated on Facebook. Filipinos connect with al-Qaeda linked groups in Somalia and Yemen. The black flag - embedded in al-Qaeda lore - pops up on websites and facebook pages from around the world, including the Philippines, Indonesia, the Middle East, Afghanistan, Australia and North Africa. The black flag is believed to herald an apocalypse that brings Islam's triumph. These are few of the signs that define terrorism's new battleground : the Internet and Social Media. In this groundbreaking work of investigative Journalism, Maria Ressa traces the spread of terrorism from the training camps of Afghanistan to Southeast Asia and the Philippines.
