Video of Pro-Suicide Bombing Rally in New York City
By Evan Kohlmann
On April 17, 2006, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) suicide bomber killed nine Israelis in an attack on a restaurant in Tel Aviv. Three days later--thanks to ongoing surveillance of extremist communication networks--NEFA investigators were on hand to videotape a rally held outside the Israeli consulate in midtown Manhattan by the so-called "Islamic Thinkers Society" in order to demonstrate their support for anti-Israeli suicide bombings. The Islamic Thinkers Society is a faction of the U.K.-based extremist movement formerly known as Al-Muhajiroun. In 2003, a British member of Al-Muhajiroun carried out a suicide bomb attack at a British-themed restaurant in Tel Aviv, killing three bystanders. Followers of Al-Muhajiroun were also responsible for a February 2006 rally outside the Danish embassy in London (likewise recorded by NEFA investigators) that included calls for a repeat of the July 7 suicide bomb attacks in the United Kingdom.
Video of the rally can now be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website (look for link at right to "Islamist Pro Suicide Bombing Rally in NYC")
