Good news: Jihadists can apply on-line...

Next step: Ring tones and text messaging.

A state-organised group which avowedly trains suicide bombers against “Western infidels and Zionists” has launched a new website to recruit volunteers, Iran Focus has learnt.

The website has been set up by the Headquarters to Commemorate Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, an organisation set up by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in 2004.

Those who join are given three choices: To carry out suicide attacks against “the infidels occupying Iraq”, against Israel, or against Salman Rushdie.

The organisation now claims to have enlisted 53,900 people to carry out “martyrdom-seeking operations”.

The website, www.esteshhad.com, has an online application where candidates can sign up to become suicide volunteers and receive training to carry out attacks on the West.

Applicants are asked to fill out the boxes for their name, email, date of birth, city, mobile number, and their reason for wanting to become suicide volunteers. A note on the side of the form says that once the application has been filled out and sent online, a representative from the group will contact the volunteer to enrol him in one of the “lovers of martyrdom garrisons”.

Other features include a biography and photo gallery section of newly-subscribed suicide bombers.
