Well, in a manner of speaking, if they (the planners) have engaged in ANY electronic communications in the course of their planning then they've done the next best thing to sending a written invitation! There's a reason why OBL stopped using a cell phone. If you send a signal anywhere on this planet, the NSA can pick it up. The NSA's problem isn't so much picking up the signal as separating the signal (information you want to know about what the opposing force is doing/thinking/planning) from the noise (everything else).
I hope that Al Qaeda is being stupid enough to send electronic signals but a long time ago, when the OPFOR wasn't Al Qaeda but the Soviet Union, my commanding officer told me that the other guy didn't owe use the favor of being either stupid or insane.
Cheers

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
