Al Qaeda boss confused phone SIM with cloaking device

The Reg with a follow up story on the plonkers in al-Qaeda who kept using the same SIM cards.

And they rightly note that if fortunately the infamous terror network do not read the Reg:

Fortunately Al Qaeda appears not to read The Register, otherwise they would have noted our observation last year that thinking terrorists would be unlikely to use Swisscom anonymous SIMs because they would effectively be a CIA-magnet: “But if a Swiss pay as you go system turned up in operation in, say, Pakistan, then it is to be expected that alert lights will go off, the phone’s location will be tracked, and the security services will move in.”
