Al-Qaeda thugs are planning to unleash a new weapon in their war against the West: cartoons.
Terrorists connected to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group's affiliate in Yemen, said they are creating a cartoon movie designed to inspire children to join the jihad, a posting on an extremist website said.
The animated film, title simply Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, depicts shrouded madmen carrying out armed raids and assassinations, and spouts vile propaganda denouncing Arab leaders as puppets of the West.
"This movie is a religious effort to educate our sons and youth about how to live a noble life under the shade of the Sharia," a statement on the Arabic website al-Shamouk said.
"It's an alternative to the poison that is broadcast by other TV channels broadcast to our children and youth."
Images from the movie drew criticism from users who complained that the gun-toting, jihadists could frighten children.
The cartoons do not depict Osama bin Laden, the slain Al Qaeda founder, or the current leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

In 2008, a series on Hamas-owned television in Gaza called Exceptionals featured hand-held puppets stabbing President George W Bush in revenge for American and Israeli actions in the Middle East.
