Al-Qaeda offers cellphone video downloads
A bunch of guys in cave, yeah right. CIA sponsorship at it's best, more like it. I guess they had more of that Operation Cyclone seed money left over.

CAIRO (AP) — Video messages of al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri can now be downloaded to cellphones, the terror network announced as part of its attempts to extend its influence.
The announcement was posted late Friday by al-Qaeda'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 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader killed by U.S. forces in Iraq in June 2006.

In a written message introducing the new cellphone videos, al-Zawahri, al-Qaeda's No. 2 figure, asked followers to spread the terror group's messages.

The terror network has been growing more sophisticated in targeting international audiences. Videos are always subtitled in English, and messages this year from bin Laden and al-Zawahri focusing on Pakistan and Afghanistan have been dubbed in the local languages, Urdu and Pashtu.
