"I realized, oh my gosh, I'm sitting here, I'm a fat 50-year-old mom and I've managed to scoop al-Qaida."

(South Carolina)—Laura Mansfield (not her real name, since her job has generated numerous death threats), is a South Carolina mother who is fluent in Arabic. According to an AP report, from her laptop at home she hacks into jihadists' computers and alerts authorities when she finds anything suspicious.

It was she who recently discovered the Osama bin Laden video before al-Qaida announced it.

She is quoted as saying: "I realized, oh my gosh, I'm sitting here, I'm a fat 50-year-old mom and I've managed to scoop al-Qaida."
