Finding an ISIS Training Camp Using Google Earth 134

An anonymous reader writes: Terrorist organization ISIS has been in the news a lot lately for their hostile activities in Iraq and Syria.

Frequently, they'll have pictures of themselves in nondescript locations — but even carefully selected images give clues to a real location.

With very little to go on, they were able to pinpoint the location of a terrorist training camp.

Wordpress 1.5.2 and 2.0 work fine for me using Apache on windows, so I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.

Just download XAMPP and wordpress and you'll be up and running within minutes. Not sure what XAMPP would be like as a production system, but it's great for testing.
