"The Leader of Al Qaeda applies their professional expertise and unique skill sets to their daily work, including fundraising, operations planning, or just staying alive,” reads the summary of the job posting.

Citing the immediate need to fill the position after a sudden vacancy, the position is open to all eligible terrorists. Veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are highly encouraged to apply.
