Is Al-Qaeda preparing British women bombers?
February 6th, 2012 - 11:52 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Feb 6 (IANS) Al-Qaeda is trying to recruit women for carrying out suicide bombings in Britain, parliament members have warned in a report.
The terrorist group is using extremist websites to radicalise the “angels of death”, the Daily Sun quoted MPs as stating in their report.
As per the Commons home affairs committee, it has heard evidence that the terror group is “specifically launching and targeting women for violent acts”.
The MPs’ panel report comes days after four Islamic extremists admitted plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange.
The report has called upon the big internet firms to do more to shut websites encouraging violent extremism.
Home Secretary Theresa May has already launched a crackdown on recruiting websites used by extremists, as a purge on fanatics in mosques and colleges has resulted in the web being increasingly used to brainwash supporters.
