A legal US resident pleaded guilty last week to providing material support to the Pakistani-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) by making a propaganda video and distributing it on the Internet. Jubair Ahmed, who moved from Pakistan to Virginia at the age of 19, attended LeT terrorist training camps as a teenager. After moving to the US, he made a propaganda video with guidance from Talha Saeed, the LeT leader’s son, and posted the video to YouTube.
It is interesting that the son of a high profile terrorist leader is spending his time instructing some lowly recruit on how to create a propaganda video. Just goes to show how important terrorist groups find the use of social media to propagate their ideology.
The video, titled “Hafiz Muhammad Saeed Qunoot e Nazila Very Emotional,” consists of a prayer by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the leader of LeT, calling for the support of jihad and the mujahideen. Email me if you’d like a copy of the video.
