Al-Khansaa (magazine)
Al-Khansaa was an online women's magazine launched in 2004 by a Saudi branch of al-Qaeda.[1][2]
The magazine claimed to have been founded by Saudi leader Abd-al-Aziz al-Muqrin shortly before his death.[3] It offered advice on first aid for wounded family members, how to raise children to believe in Jihad and physical training for women to prepare for combat.[3]
The magazine was named after Al-Khansaa, an Arab poet and a contemporary of Muhammad.[4]
