"Winds of Paradise 4: Observation 1"

SNIPPET: "Al-Qaida really outdid itself with Winds of Paradise 4. Two things up front. On the one hand, this video confirms that we’ve killed a lot of their young guns. That’s undeniably awesome. On the other hand,they have a much deeper bench than I had suspected. And I’m talking about guys out there doing it jihadi-style, not sitting in their mom’s basements. This is undeniably not awesome.

This video, in fact this whole series, is dissertation worthy (hint hint all grad students out there looking for a good topic).

“Winds of Paradise 4: Observation 2”

SNIPPET: “Remember my video, Jihadi Love? I featured a special moment between Abu Layth al-Libi and a friend whose hand he was holding. Here is the screencap that I had pulled.

Remember that I had also pulled these vidcaps featuring unknown guy in other precious moments with Abu Layth al-Libi, like this one?

Well, we now learn who he was: Commander Abdallah al-Mudir.

Al-Mudir, a Libyan, was killed by an airstrike. (nicely done American military).

Apparently, he was born to a wealthy family in Libya.”

“Get the Popcorn: AQ Releases 2 Doozies”

SNIPPET: “1. Abu Yahya al-Libi released a new, 149-page book, “The Ruling Concerning Muslim Spies,” featuring an intro from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. More on this to follow-

2. Winds of Paradise 4 – the last Winds was a spectacle so this one is really going to have to dig down deep in order to match it.”

“British Jihobbyist Dead at 35”

SNIPPET: “The talk of the English-language jihobbyist town is about Abu ‘Abdullah al-Gujrati , who was from the Midlands in the UK. I think this is him but I’ll let the jihobbyist community confirm that for us.”

Winds 4 Observation 3: Abd al-Salam al-Turkistani Blew It

According to Winds of Paradise 4, “God allowed [Abd al-Salam al-Turkistani] to die as a result of the explosion of a grenade during training.”

In other words, he inadvertently blew himself up with a grenade while frolicking with his jihadi buddies.
