Al-Qaida's hiring for the Web!

[Zim Hosein]

Al-Qaida has put job advertisements on the Internet, asking for supporters to help put together its Web statements and video montages, an Arabic newspaper reported.

London-based Asharq Alawsat said on its Web site this week that al-Qaida had "vacant positions" for video production and editing statements, footage and international media coverage about militants in Iraq, the Palestinian territories, Chechnya and other conflict zones where militants are active.

The paper said the Global Islamic Media Front, an al-Qaida-linked Web-based organization, would "follow up with members interested in joining and contact them via e-mail."

The paper did not say how applicants should contact the Global Islamic Media Front.

Al-Qaida supporters widely use the Internet to spread the group's statements through dozens of Islamist sites where anyone can post messages. Al-Qaida-linked groups also set up their own sites, which frequently have to move after being shut down by Internet service providers.

The advertisements, however, could not be found on mainstream Islamist Web sites where al-Qaida and other affiliate groups post their statements.

Previous Next Asharq Alawsat said the ad did not specify salary amounts, but that it did add, "Every Muslim knows his life is not his, since it belongs to this violated Islamic nation whose blood is being spilt. Nothing should take precedence over this."

The Front last month launched an Internet news broadcast called Voice of the Caliphate, which it said aimed to combat al-Qaida "lies and propaganda" on major international and Arab television channels, such as CNN and Aljazeera.

Al-Qaida and other groups have increasingly turned to the Internet to win young Muslims over to their war against Western-backed governments in Arab and Muslim countries.

Islamist insurgents fighting U.S. forces and the U.S.-backed government in Iraq have often posted slick montages of their military activities, including beheadings of hostages, on the Internet, where they spread through dozens of Islamist sites.
