Al Qaeda Media MIA? + Disgusting "insurgent" Images of the Day

The jihadis are all abuzz about all the prominent forums that have been taken offline lately (we wish we could take credit for all of them), but something I haven't mentioned and which could be important is this: Al Qaeda in Iraq's (or, if you prefer, the Islamic State of Iraq's) al Furqan Media has been MIA for weeks.

No new videos from an organization that used to release propaganda all the time. How many videos? Try at least one new video a week, and sometimes many more. Nothing for awhile. Nada. Zilch.

This isn't necessarily a sign that al Qaeda in Iraq is finished. Not necessarily a good sign, but it's definitely not a bad sign either.

Especially given that al Furqan has promised a "new" video, which looks to be just a collection of old video clips. It features images from several old executions, including the ones below. What's old is new, eh? If you can't upload your Islamic snuff videos on to the internet yourself, then I guess you have to rely on some entrepreneurial jihadi-wannabe sitting in his mother's basement to splice together some old clips, throw in a nasheed, and declare victory over the Zionist-Crusaders.

WARNING: Disgusting images posted by the 'insurgents' in Iraq themselves.
