Just when it seemed that for every two militants in Iraq there was a third following behind with a camera, the jihad industry in Iraq has discovered untapped potential in the most humble of office applications - the spreadsheet.

The Islamic State of Iraq - the Iraqi franchise of al-Qaida - has taken to releasing a fortnightly report in PDF form charting the efficiency of their operations.

So under "heretics and refusers" killed for this fortnight the count is one. And under "those who received their just fate" the count is 13. There is even a column titled "miscellaneous."

There is obviously a wider significance to this. The war for Muslim hearts and minds is being fought on the web. And as the insurgency groups squabble for ascendancy - and try to prove that it is is REALLY they who is giving the crusaders what-for - a fortnightly update of who-blew-what-up-where starts to make sense. And it's all laid out in an easy to assimilate grid structure.

The jihadis are proving they're not only deadly - they're also organised.
