LONDON -- Britain's spy agencies have a new message for terrorists: make cupcakes, not war.

Intelligence agents managed to hack into the extremist Inspire magazine, replacing its bombmaking instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.

It's the first time the agents sabotaged the English-language magazine linked to U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an extremist accused in several recent terror plots.

The quarterly online magazine, which is sent to websites and email addresses as a pdf file, had offered an original page titled "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" in one of its editions last year. The magazine's pages were corrupted, however, and the instructions replaced with the cupcake recipe.

"We're increasingly using cybertools as part of our work," a British government official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters said Friday, confirming that the Inspire magazine had been successfully attacked.



Have a great weekend

Or the "they fight crime" generator update to "they fight terrorists"

"He's a gun-slinging dishevelled hairdresser moving from town to town, helping folk in trouble. She's a pregnant junkie doctor with only herself to blame. They fight crime


"He's a pastry chef, beating eggs wherever he finds them. Her lips are as sweet as chocolate icing, but must hide them under her niqaab ." They fight terrorists.
