Global Islamic Media Front

The Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) is a propaganda distribution network associated with Al Qaeda, although it has boosted the propaganda of a number of jihadist groups. It was originally created as a distribution list in June 2001, operated by an Al Qaeda supporter in Canada. It also provides translation services and has even claimed to have created an encryption program for safely storing terrorist propaganda. The GIMF declined in the frequency of its posting after 2015, but has continued to post some propaganda.
