After they were all prepped and ready to start making bombs in moms kitchen... I wonder How many Al Qaida Rejects have followed the directions and made cupcakes now, or better yet how many have bookmarked the cupcake website.

LONDON -- Would-be terrorists searching the Internet for tips on how to build bombs were instead taught how to bake the perfect cupcake after an intervention by British intelligence, London's The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
Intelligence agency MI6 launched the cyber operation against jihadi magazine, Inspire, in an attempt to hamper attempts by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular (AQAP) to attract "lone wolf" terrorists.
Surfers trying to download the English-language magazine's "Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom" feature were instead redirected to a site boasting recipes for "The Best Cupcakes in America."
The baking site, which is published by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," promises treats for "today's sweet-toothed hipsters" including the mojito cupcake, made using white rum and vanilla buttercream.
The 67-page Inspire contains instructions on how to make rudimentary pipe bombs using sugar, match heads and a miniature lightbulb.

Al Qaeda's ability to attack US is wanning
According to the former chief of Britain's MI6 intelligence agency, Richard Dearlove, al Qaeda's ability to attack the US or Britain is wanning due to improved security cooperation between the two countries.
But does al Qaeda even need to carry out attacks against the US or Britain? There are plenty of muslims in Britain and the US who share the same ideology as al Qaeda and who are willing to carry out attacks on their own. One just has to refer to the recent Ft. Hood terrorist attack to understand we have bigger problems than just al Qaeda.

Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The al-Qaeda terrorist network may be losing its capacity to launch large-scale attacks in the U.S. and U.K. because of improved security cooperation, Richard Dearlove, former chief of Britain’s MI6 spy agency, said.
“It could be the movement is past the high point in its ability to mount mass-casualty events in the West,” Dearlove said in an interview in London late yesterday. “It’s because the bar has been raised, the door has been shut.”
Dearlove, 64, served as chief of MI6, known officially as the Secret Intelligence Service, from 1999 to 2004, and his tenure included the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. “There is much more international security cooperation,” he said, though “the threat is not completely removed.”

MI6 chief's cover blown through facebook
The British just can't seem to keep secrets. Telegraph
Sir John is due to take up his post as chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, in charge of Britain's spying operations abroad, in November.
But his wife's posting on the social networking site have exposed potentially compromising details about where they live and work, their friends and where they go on holiday.[...]
Lady Sawers posted photographs of the family's holidays and gave details of the location of the family's flat in London and the whereabouts of their three children and of Sir John's parents.
On June 16, the day Sir John's MI6 appointment was announced, she posted 19 pictures of the couple on holiday with their friends in the West Country earlier that month.
