Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad

Background
Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad was a terrorist organization that was active in Iraq. It was originally founded in Jordan in 1999 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi with its initial goal of overthrowing the apostate of Jordan. When the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, al-Zarqawi moved to Iraq, along with most of the group's operations. On October 17, 2004, when al-Zarqawi pledged allegiance to the al-Qaeda network led by Osama bin Laden, the group became known as Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn, or al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Visuals: On a black background is the zooming text " التوحيد والجهاد " facing upwards. Sliding above it is the group's logo, consisting of a globe with a white open book in its center, an arm pointing upwards, an AK-47, and a black flag with a flagstaff. The latter three objects are stacked on top of the book and the AK-47 and flag are to the right of the arm. The text tilts and slides down after it stops zooming where it becomes obscured by the logo's large scale. Once the logo reaches the center, it zooms out and reveals a bold and vertically stretched version of the text on the bottom of the screen. Before the logo stops zooming, a burst effect is applied on the text, slowly radiating from right to center as a large light brown spotlight moves from the bottom right corner towards the bottom center. The sequence freezes for several seconds before the shine on the text and the spotlight moves towards the left and right respectively. Before the spotlight can leave the screen entirely, it alongside the text's light disappear.
