Al Qaeda Running 'Help Wanted' Ad for Suicide Bombers
August 15, 2012
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.

Alec Baldwin: IRS scandal ‘has a whiff of Breitbart'

The IRS targeting scandal has mushroomed into a front-page story, generating outrage from both sides of the political aisle, and Alec Baldwin still thinks it must be some sort of meaningless right-wing political scheme. Unfortunately, Baldwin’s fans seemed to buy his rhetoric hook, line, and sinker. @ABFalecbaldwin You mean that raw sewage miasma that induces […]

Combine this with the pending appointment of Susan Rice as National Security Advisor, and you'd almost get the feeling that people involved in this scandal are actually being rewarded for their behavior.

If that really is a bus we hear approaching, it should have been here years ago.
