Al Qaeda posts ‘help wanted’ ad on website: report

[ECH1969]

CAIRO - Terrorist network Al Qaeda posted a “help wanted” ad on the Internet seeking employees in the area of communications, according to a report on Monday by the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat.

The ad, which according to the newspaper appeared on a site frequently used by Islamist groups, announced several communications related positions.

The person is also expected to compile from satellite channels footage of interest to fundamentalists on incidents in the Palestinian Territories, Iraq and Chechnya. It is also seeking an editor with excellent English and Arabic grammar.

Two Al Qaeda members, one former and the other perhaps still a member, have suggested that the organisation is not a great employer.

1. This is a CIA ruse

[bspence]

13. Why would you say that?

I'm not saying it couldn't be something related to the CIA, but it seems pretty unlikely. It sounds too lame to be something the CIA would be interested in spreading around.

I'm just curious what proof do you have. It sounds like you see the CIA being behind everything.

2. Anyone who believes that Al Qaeda would advertise to fill....

...ANY position of need is completely delusional.

3. They can always find some illegal migrant workers from Mexico

It works for Bush. He doesn't mind. Why not outsource terrorism?

4. I heard they are looking for a new number two person...

since all thirty of the other number two person have been captured by Bush.

6. ROFL!

You've noticed that too! We've done an EXCELLENT job capturing the #2 guys! These days, I'm only worried about the number three guys. And, well, the number one guy.

(Actually, I'm more worried about BushCo)

15. No kidding....

The #2 Al Queada spot is the same as the spare guy in the red tunic on a 'Star Trek' away team.

7. Um, they are in a war. Why shouldn't they advertise to fill positions.

I remember looking for a job 4 years ago and seeing a bunch of army ads listed under software developer. Funny thing, the descriptions didn't seem to promise much developing software.

I wonder if every US military ad is news somewhere.

10. What is the starting salary and fringe benefits?

Do they abide by the American with Disabilities Act? How about equal employment opportunities for women and GLBTs?

Is the CIA running Al-Qaeda now?

"Two...members...have suggested that the organisation is not a great employer".

Perhaps they should join a union.
