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.

Down and out in LA: Outgoing Mayor Villaraigosa tries hand at hitchhiking [photo]
May 24, 2013 02:40 PM
It’s come to this. As Twitchy reported, outgoing LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has seen better days. But, rather than keeping a low profile and trying to get back on track, he’s milking his desperation for laughs. Or something. We’re not really sure. Take a look for yourself: Mayor who has no car hitching a ride […]
