Al Qaeda Women’s Mag Mixes Beauty and Bomb Tips

14 Mar 2011 10:15 #1 by outdoor338
Al Shamikha magazine — its title means “The Majestic Woman” — features beauty and fashion tips alongside articles on “marrying a mujahedeen” and carrying out suicide attacks.

The first issue of the glossy 30-page publication, which must be ordered online, was released in recent days by the Al Qaeda-affiliated Al Fajr Media Center.

Its cover features the barrel of a sub-machine gun next to the image of a woman in a veil. Inside, there are exclusive interviews with martyrs’ wives who praise their husbands’ decisions to die in suicide bombings. Many other articles have female authors.
