March 1, 2011 Special Dispatch No.3629 Report on Jihadi Media Publications in Pakistan: 'Militant Organizations Are Putting Out… 18 Weeklies, 40 Biweeklies, and 22 Monthlies'; 'Ummat Studios… Is the Biggest Pakistani Jihadi Organization'; 'The Official Al-Qaeda Media, Managed by Adam Yehiye Gadahn, Is Run From an Undisclosed Location in Pakistan'; 'Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) Operates Two Media Houses' Recently, a report in a leading Pakistani newspaper warned that jihadist organizations in Pakistan are continuing to publish scores of print publications advocating jihad and martyrdom despite a government ban on such magazines. The report noted: "While all sort of radical ideas and jihadi publications are going viral in Pakistan, the government seems more interested in banning BlackBerry services to foreign diplomats instead of shutting down the propaganda of jihadi organizations within the country." The report, titled "Jihadi Media is Booming," was published in two parts on January 12 and February 4, 2011.
