The Jawa Report has interesting details on the three members of the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) arrested in Austria: Three GIMF Online Jihadis Arrested in Austria.
GIMF is the European propaganda arm in support of al Qaeda and other radical Islamists organizations. They are also longtime ‘friends’ of The Jawa Report. GIMF operative know who we are. As such can I be the first to say ha-ha!
The video was first released on GIMF’s Voice of the Caliphate online television station in March of this year. The station regularly played al Qaeda produced propaganda. It was especially supportive of the Chechen jihad. The “station” still maintains, although no longer updates, a website on Google’s blogspot platform here.
In addition to showing and distributing al Qaeda produced videos from al Furqan and as Sahab, GIMF produces it’s own documentaries in support of jihad. Recently al Qaeda in Iraq sent a thank you note to GIMF for their supportive propaganda efforts.
The web based TV station is no longer active, but GIMF is. Most GIMF publications are now released through Islamist forums. They still do videos, including the release of the hostage video of Fox News reporters Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, but their mainstay has always been an online print magazine.
The group is also responsible for the release of the terrorist “training” video game, “The Night of Bush Capturing”. The climax of the game is one-on-one combat against President George W. Bush.
