Second Edition of Al Qaeda in Iraq Recruitment Magazine Posted Posted: June 20, 2005

Al Qaeda in Iraq, an Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has issued the second edition of its recruitment magazine over the Internet. 

Like the first issue, the 40-page Zurwat al-Sanam (Arabic for “Tip of the Camel’s Hump”), includes a series of articles calling for continued jihad; one article urges Muslims “to practice jihad and wage a wide war on the Crusaders.” 

The magazine also includes an article on the history of Iraq, sections on Islamic law, reports on “achievements,” poetry, numerous verses from the Koran and more. 

Links to the magazine were posted on June 3 on various places on the Internet, including the Islamic Renewal Organization Web site, which is run by Mohammed Al Massari, a Saudi dissident based in the UK who claims affiliation with al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
