The amazing part to me is that the reports say there was no internet connectivity and no phone lines running into the compound. Did they have an internal network? Or, were these all just stand-alone computers where they kept notes?
- sgt 15y agoPerhaps he had a 3G connection? That would conflict with their statement about no internet connectivity though.
- lucasjung 15y agoThis doesn't surprise me at all: the guy was notoriously paranoid and wouldn't have wanted any kind of electronic tether that Americans could have potentially used to trace back to him. Never mind how plausible such a scenario actually is, in his mind it was a threat. I'd bet that he had a dedicated sneaker-net servicing his compound with high bandwidth and acceptable (to him) latency.
- foobarbazetc 15y agoCould be satellite internet...
- jonknee 15y agoCould have been a sneakernet with the courrier system. He was able to move videos out, it would make sense data came in as well. When you're hiding out for years at a time, the increased latency of such a network probably isn't a pressing concern.
