| Al-Qaeda propagandist captured |
| 2005-10-16 |
| A propaganda cell leader for Al Qaeda in Iraq was captured in a raid on a suspected terrorist safe house in Karabilah last month, Multi-National Forces said in a statement issued Sunday. Yasir Khudr Muhammad Jasim al-Karbali, also known as Abu Dijana, was apprehended in the September 25 raid, the military said. He was the senior Al Qaeda in Iraq propaganda cell leader for Karabilah, Al Qaim and Husaybah, the statement said. "Abu Dijana's cell consisted of photographers who used video and still photograph images to document insurgent attacks against Iraqi citizens and Iraqi and Coalition Forces," according to the statement. "Local Al Qaeda in Iraq leaders notified Abu Dijana of impending attacks in the area, at which time he would contact his terrorist cell members and provide them with equipment and supplies needed to record the attacks." Abu Dijana later collected the photographs and video and forwarded them to other Al Qaeda in Iraq propaganda officials for their use, the military said, and the images were made into terrorist propaganda products for distribution through print and Web sites. |

| #5 but I would imagine at least a few would've been smart enough to pay cash and avoid the paper trail That's ok. We can just arrest all the rest who weren't quite smart enough. Darwinism in the news biz, too. Perhaps the smart ones will figure out that that selling truth (as opposed to TRUTH) is a more successful way to go. |

| #4 Spot=on, GC. Prolly sold shit, helping to finance as well as propagandize, to AP, Rooters, AFP, CNN, NYT, WaPo - the whole slew of biased MSM bastards. It might be fascinating to track any available records, but I would imagine at least a few would've been smart enough to pay cash and avoid the paper trail. |

| #3 "Abu Dijana's cell consisted of photographers who used video and still photograph images to document insurgent attacks against Iraqi citizens and Iraqi and Coalition Forces," BFD. How hard can it be to raid the AP office? They probably struck 59 minutes into happy hour. |
