The tape informs that the group is looking for experts in the field of ‘chemistry, physics, electronics, media and all other sciences — especially nuclear scientists and explosives experts’. The 20-minute tape was released yesterday on a website that recurrently airs al Qaidda messages.
The audiotape can practically be dubbed as a job ad since it aims at recruiting people for their ongoing jihad against the Western countries.
