Terrorist plays cameo in spoof video

For a colleague's going away party, Reuters staff in Israel created a video of what Israel would be like in 10 years.
"All of a sudden, at the end, there is Zakaria Zubeidi, playing the head of Reuters. Zubeidi was sitting in Reuters' Jenin office, saying he was Reuters’ chief,” the official said.

The party included guests from the BBC, ITN, the Independent newspaper, and French journalists.

"They all thought the video was hilarious," the official said. He added that only a few individuals did not seem amused during the screening.

...

Reuters spokeswoman Susan Allsopp said in a statement to Ynetnews that the film “was a spoof video put together for a departing member of staff by a few of his colleagues in Israel and the Palestinian territories. It was shown at a private farewell party and was meant to be humorous.
Zubeidi is head of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which has claimed responsibility for more than 300 acts of terror in Israel.

So you can see what a laugh riot it was for him to appear in the video. And how great is it that Zubeidi took the time out from his busy schedule recruiting suicide bombers to do a favor for his pals at Reuters?

Clearly, he knows who his friends are.
