Al-Qaida has moved its PR campaign to the mobile market with the addition of video content for cell phones.
From CBC:
Video messages of al-Qaida leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri can now be downloaded to cell phones, the terror network has announced, as part of its attempts to further extend its reach.
The announcement was posted late Friday by al-Qaida’s media wing, al-Sahab, on websites commonly used by Islamic militants. As of Saturday, eight previously recorded videos were made available including a recent tribute to the slain former “al-Qaida in Iraq” leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed by U.S. forces in Iraq in June 2006.
In a written message introducing the new cell phone videos, al-Zawahri, al-Qaida’s No. 2 figure, asked followers to spread the terror group’s messages.
Now, I think it would be truly amusing if someone were to hack their content servers and trojan the videos. That would be amusing to no end to watch as their supporters have their cell phones bricked.
