Do not forget that the basis of the ideal of the attack is religious zealotry with a side helping of malice and envy.
The technology that was used has been available for at least ten years. Cell phones, guns, physical threats, email, encryption. Could this have been accomplished without these tools? Yep. Remember the 1970's? "Am I going to Miami today or Cuba?" "Cooper?"
Working under the present assumption that this may be Bin Laden's work (funded by Hussein and perhaps Qaddafi?) this is simply another jihad. More important and certaintly a more spectaculator jihad perhaps, but condoned by the very theology. The Taliban was formed in extremists schools in Palestinian hands.
Fanatic politcal/religious zealots. With funding.
The technology is not responsible. Just more efficient.
