Al-Qaeda Strategies Hidden in Porn Computer Files

Over a hundred documents found in digital storage device.

The capture of a 22-year-old Austrian man who was linked with Al-Qaeda was a goldmine for German investigators.

The man, Maqsood Lodin, was questioned by police in Berlin where he was transferred. When investigators began searching him, they found a digital storage device and memory cards.

Buried inside them was a pornographic video called "Kick Ass" -- and a file marked "Sexy Tanja."

In those files, they found hundreds of Al-Qaeda documents detailing plots for future attacks on European and American soil.

Future plots include the idea of seizing cruise ships and carrying out attacks in Europe similar to the gun attacks by Pakistani militants that paralyzed the Indian city of Mumbai in November 2008. Terrorist training manuals in PDF format in German, English and Arabic were among the documents, too, according to intelligence sources.

German authorities believe the document was produced in 2009 and still stands as the terrorist organization's future plans.

Lodin and a man called Yusuf Ocak are now on trial in Berlin where they are pleading not guilty.
