Unlike most web site attacks, however, this one was pulled off by the British intelligence service.   How about that, digital counter-terrorism!  The spook-geeks at MI6 got onto the web server and replaced a downloadable article on bomb-making with a web page containing cupcake recipes!!!  American cupcake recipes, to boot.  <\/p>\n<p>The article, known as &#8220;make a bomb in your mom&#8217;s kitchen&#8221;,  was written by Anwar al-Awlaki, the American radical imam based in Yemen.
