Al Qaeda Is Said to Have Posted Web Ads for Video, Editing Jobs

The London-based Asharq al Awsat said on its website this week that the terrorist network had "vacant positions" for video production and for editing statements, footage and international media coverage about militant activities worldwide.

The paper said the Global Islamic Media Front, a Web-based organization linked to Al Qaeda, 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 Qaeda supporters widely use the Internet to spread the group's statements through dozens of Islamist sites where anyone can post messages.

The advertisements, however, could not be found on Islamist sites where extremist groups post their statements.
