Iraqi insurgents are developing online web-based presentations for aspiring snipers and Mujahadeen. They have been kindly translated and transferred to a Powerpoint slideshow by an American thinktank. Sorta gives a whole new meaning to the expression "Death by Powerpoint".
View the presentation here (obviously you should consider any career ramifications of clicking the above link).
A number of slides are interactive with the audience and quiz the trainee sniper on "who would you shoot first, and why". My 'favorite' was the last slide, where right after the Heavy Machine Gun operator, the sniper should shoot the journalist. Why?
"First, because the camera can be used as binoculars; second, it is the most difficult thing to hide the death of a reporter in Iraq."It seems propaganda is as important to an Islamist sniper as accuracy with a firearm.
