Al-Qaeda's Online English-Language Magazine Provokes Mayhem
(Washington Times) Arnaud de Borchgrave - The latest issue of Inspire, al-Qaeda's online English-language magazine, singles out Roshanara Chaudry, sentenced to life in prison last year for stabbing a British member of Parliament who backed the Iraq War. "A woman has shown [Islam's] men the path of jihad! A woman, my brothers! Shame on all the men for idling while one of our women took up the individual jihad. She felt the need to do it simply because our men gave all too many excuses" for not doing it. American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki appealed to Islamists to steal Western money to fund al-Qaeda. Offering tips for bombing Western buildings, would-be terrorists were advised to rent apartments on the lower floors from where they could dynamite "the pillars of the structure." Western volunteers are instructed to focus on targets in their own countries.
