Job opportunity

[Gob]

Apparently low on bombers, al-Qaeda is running a (short-term) employment advertisement on its Shumukh al-Islam Internet forum. Under the heading “Area of activity: The planet Earth,” the ad seeks jihadists to carry out suicide attacks.

Applicants must be Muslim, mentally mature, dedicated, able to listen, and utterly committed to completing their mission, the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Tuesday.

Several email addresses are provided for applicants. While their real names are not required, candidates are asked to send details of their nickname or handle, their age, marital status, languages spoken and a list of passports in their possession.

The ad on the forum, which is accessible only to al-Qaeda members, specifies the targets of the terror attacks that applicants will be expected to carry out, including “People who fight Islam and Muslims” and enemy “financial, military and media targets.”

The ad indicates that the anticipated attacks will be solo operations: “Only one person will be in charge. He will gather all of the intelligence, he will prepare the operation — and he will complete the attack.” However, it continues, “a military panel” will oversee the bomber’s training and select the target.

The job description promises only a “very slight chance of being caught.”

I don't know....

Sounds like kind of a dead-end job to me....

Sounds like a hoax committed for propaganda purposes to me.

[Lord Jim]

The hoax angle occurred to me...

But it could just be somebody's idea of a joke...

The humor potential is pretty obvious.....

The ad on the forum, which is accessible only to al-Qaeda members

Then how'd they find out about it?

Nothing of the 72 virgins?

Poor salesmanship.

Looks like a great job opportunity for someone who would like to be remembered as a person who propelled himself and exploded into the labor force and ultimately made a significant difference in many people's lives.

It's certain that they won't get any applicants with experience.

At least not anyone who has been successful.

It's chance to make an impact, get into the market and blow everyone away.

That was one thing that gave it the ring of untruth for me. I was tempted to go to the site to check it out, but on second thought I didn't think I wanted anyone to see that I've been visiting websites tied to Al-Qaeda.

It appears as though this news is over 2 months old...

There are quite a few jihadists that are dying to get that job.

And others that would give their left & right arm and more for the opportunity.

If you're looking for an expanding sphere of influence this opportunity is for you!
