The Salafist Group for Preaching and War, backed by Al Qaeda and based in Algeria, sent a gory recruiting video to UK mosques shortly before the September 11th attacks.
One scene shows Northern Alliance soldiers getting their heads cut off by Taliban. Another scene shows trucks hitting mines and Talban draftees killing survivors with knives and guns. Images of the victims skulls and brains can be seen afterwards.
The Observer reporter purchased videos of this gruesomeness for 10 pounds (about $15 US) on a London street. One of the mosques showing these videos was attended by Richard Reid, the alleged shoe bomber.
