Win contest, fire missiles at U.S. base
Information bureau of Sunni terrorist organization operating in Iraq announces website designers contest. First prize: Opportunity to fire three long-range missiles from any location in the world at U.S. army base in Iraq
Announcements posted on the Islamist Internet forums are usually connected to ongoing terrorist activities, such as claims of responsibility for attacks, recorded speeches by leaders, etc. Occasionally, there are also announcements of a propagandist nature that are difficult to attribute with any certainty to specific terrorist organizations, and whose authenticity is hard to establish, such as the "oath of loyalty to bin Laden" initiative.
However, a new announcement published in one of the Islamic websites was particularly creative.
A special document published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) presents an announcement published by the information bureau of Jaish Al-Taifa Al-Mansura ("The Army of the Victorious Group"), a Sunni terrorist organization operating in Iraq.

Full Story
The organization announced a contest for designing its website, and stated that the prize would be, in addition to reward from Allah, an opportunity to fire missiles via computer at a U.S. army base in Iraq.
The following are excerpts from the announcement:
"To the brothers who seek reward (from Allah) and to the honorable people (who visit) the forums of the blessed Al-Hesbah network and of the Global Islamic Media Front:
"The information bureau of the Army of the Victorious Group has announced a contest for designing and constructing a special website for the Army.
"The site must include the motto of the Army of the Victorious Group, the Army's ideology, as posted on the Al-Hesbah network, and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad about the victorious group, communiqués issued by the Army that have been posted on the Al-Hesbah network, and videos of the Army's operations that have been posted on the Al-Hesbah network.
"In addition, the site must include all materials connected to the Army that have appeared on Al-Hesbah, in newspapers or elsewhere. (The site) must match the good reputation of the Army, of jihad and of the jihad fighters, and (it must) defeat the Crusader information (channels)."
'Winner will fire three long-range missiles'
Surprisingly, this is not a normal bid. According to the announcement, "the contest will continue for a month, and there will be two prizes for the best design."
The first prize is "a reward from Allah for blessed work in the service of jihad and the jihad fighters." As a second reward, "the winner will fire three long-range missiles from any location in the world at an American army base in Iraq, by pressing a button (on his computer) with his own blessed hand, using technology developed by the jihad fighters, Allah willing."
According to the announcement, the geographical distance should not prevent anyone from taking part in the contest.
"This is also an opportunity for our brothers outside Iraq to join their brothers on the front line in Iraq, the land of the frontier and of jihad, and to (participate in) destroying the strongholds of polytheism and heresy," the announcement said.

Now all of you have the opportunity to participate first hand in an attack that may help lead to our withdraw from Iraq!
I expect the overwhelming majority of you to enter. I figure E-Z-B, Sleepyking and Metal Boss will sign up multiple times hoping for the opportunity to stick it to Bush and the warmongering military.
