Al Qaeda looking for a few media-savvy geeks
Wed. Mar. 5 2008

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- In an Internet age, al Qaeda prizes geek jihadis as much as would-be suicide bombers and gunmen.

The terror network is recruiting computer-savvy technicians to produce sophisticated web documentaries and multimedia products aimed at Muslim audiences in the United States, Britain and other western countries. Already, the terror movement's al-Sahab production company is turning out high-quality material, some of which rivals productions by western media companies. The documentaries appear regularly on Islamist websites, which al Qaeda uses to recruit followers and rally its supporters.

Rocket Launchers Seized in Kosovo
March 05, 2008

PRISTINA -- Two rocket launchers have been siezed from a house in the tense, ethnically divided northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica, police said Wednesday. The 64mm rocket launchers were discovered during a search in the Albanian-majority southern part of the town, which is separated from the mainly Serb north by the Ibar River.

A special unit of the NATO-led peacekeeping Kosovo Force (KFOR) "was called to the scene and confiscated the illegal weapons," the police said in a statement. "The search was completed without any incident, while the suspect wasn't at home," it added. The town, where 20,000 Serbs live in the north and 80,000 Albanians in the south, symbolises the ethnic tensions of Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia Feb. 17.
