Inspire Magazine
Inspire is an English language online magazine reported to be published by the organization al-Qaeda. The magazine is one of the many ways they use to reach an internet audience. Inspire Magazine is a planning guide for the “lone wolf terrorists.”
A suggestion would be to read or have someone in your organization read the magazines, for no other reason than to ensure they are not talking about your area of responsibility.
