The San Bernadino shooter worked for a government agency similar to this, it isn't a stretch of the imagination that a country that is far more terminal with the muslim issue would have some of their own doing the same.

and dont forget only a single company ever gets the professionally made videos to disseminate to the press.

For those not reading the article. Looks like the U.K government may have sold some IP addresses to Saudi Arabia and the IP's are still showing up as belonging to UK department of work and pensions.

Makes sense. DWP are currently undergoing a huge IT infrastructure overhaul worth millions.

I read this dismissing the whole article as just information that means nothing. Why are people not connecting the dots?

Saudi is an ally to USA and UK. If they purchased an IP range (which I've never heard of anyone doing like this - plausible deniability?) it still stands that Saudi Arabia is hosting ISIS Twitter accounts or at the very least, ISIS is connecting via Saudi networks. Does this not seem odd?
