   ....in the war on terror? [1]Meet Shannen Rossmiller,
   terrorist-tracker. Armed with a computer and self-taught Arabic, this
   woman has single-handedly brought down terrorist groups and become a
   valuable resource for intelligence services all over the world.

     Radical Islamists may not know it but their global jihad has more
     to fear from Shannen Rossmiller, an American mother-of-three, than
     from a squadron of F16s.
     The former cheerleader doesn't phrase it quite like that. That
     isn't her style.
     Yet a summary of case histories and transcripts seen by The Daily
     Telegraph reveals that she has uncovered the whereabouts of
     al-Qa'eda fighters in the lawless highlands of Pakistan, shopped
     groups of would-be terrorists from Liverpool to Lebanon, tracked
     down an Islamist designing a nuclear device and much, much more.
     Donning a range of virtual disguises, she uses her functional,
     self-taught Arabic, and customised software that masks her true
     identity and whereabouts, to navigate into radical internet chat
     rooms frequented by real terrorists or any fanatic with a computer
     and a grudge.

   This woman is so effective she now has round-the-clock protection to
   keep the terrorists from killing her.
