Magazine: beauty tips, suicide bombing advice

Al-Qaeda has launched a women’s magazine that mixes beauty and fashion tips with advice on suicide bombings. Dubbed ‘Jihad Cosmo’, the glossy magazine’s front cover features the barrel of a sub-machine gun next to a picture a woman in a veil. There are exclusive interviews with martyrs’ wives, who praise their husbands’ decisions to die in suicide attacks. The slick, 31-page Al-Shamikha magazine - meaning The Majestic Woman - has advice for singletons on ‘marrying a mujahideen’. Readers are told it is their duty to raise children to be mujahideen ready for jihad.  More
