Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has re-released its new English-language magazine, Inspire on Sunday June 11, 2010. Inspire magazine consists of well designed 67 pages.

The magazine, which is packed with sleek pictures of Al-Qaeda leaders and bright graphics. With article titles such as "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" by the "The AQ Chef," or a packing list included in "What to Expect in Jihad," parts of the magazine have a friendly, if extremist, scouting manual feel.

The "Make a Bomb" article notes that a device made in "one or two days could be ready to kill at least ten people," while one made in a month "could kill tens of people."

The article, which addresses "Muslims in America and Europe," then details the construction of an explosive device using sugar, crushed match heads, a pipe, a Christmas tree-type light, a battery and a clock.
