In a sign of the times...

...Newsweek is up for sale while Inspire, a new magazine bearing the signature of the propaganda arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is starting up.

Headlines tease tutorials for would-be terrorists, including instructions to “make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” an article on “Mujahedeen 101” and a lesson in sending and receiving encrypted messages.

A PDF of the magazine — the first known English-language publication thought to be produced by the Yemen-based terrorist group — began circulating on the Internet on Wednesday. The magazine’s goal is to recruit disaffected Muslims in the United States, Canada, Britain and other English-speaking countries.
