Islamic Spymaster: 'Order the Kosher Meal'

The Ha'aretz newspaper has revealed the inner workings of a spy manual created by the man in charge of Al-Qaida operations in Palestine. It has all kinds of juicy tips that every terrorist needs when committing atrocities - umm, I mean, acts of martyrdom for the glory of Allah.

Some of these chestnuts include not tipping off friendly journalists when you are going to blow up a hotel - because they might tattle on you. Even if your journalist pal might stay there, you can't let them know. Man, what a moral dilemma!

Other pearls of wisdom include speaking in code, starting fake catering companies and effective means of going undercover. But the best tip of all? Order a 'Jewish (kosher) meal' when traveling by air. For the religious spy, it is the perfect way to ensure eating a meal that is free of pork, and meets the standards of Islamic religious dietary practice (Halal). "They are marked with the letters U and K" the 42 page manual makes clear.

It's nice to know those Jews are good for something.
