As the caliphate crumbles, Taliban steals ISIS' tactics to target women

The English-language magazine — which debuted online but in a print-style format — was published by the Pakistani Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), earlier this month without much fanfare.

The first edition of Sunnat E Khaula, which harks back to a seventh-century female Muslim warrior named Khaula, calls on “like-minded jihadi sisters” to organize “secret gatherings at home,” arrange “physical training classes” and “prepare for martyrdom operations.”

“We want to provoke women of Islam to come forward and join the ranks of mujahideen [holy warriors] of Islam,” an opening editorial reads.
