MI6 Swaps Bomb Making Info With Cupcake Recipe On al-Qaeda Website

Posted by samzenpus on Friday June 3, 2011 @04:14AM from the now-you're-cooking dept.

The British Intelligence agency has unveiled its latest weapon in the war on terror, cupcake recipes published by the Ellen DeGeneres show. MI6 hacked an online al-Queda magazine replacing instructions about how to “Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom" with a web page of recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America” from Ellen's show. From the article: "It included a recipe for the Mojito Cupcake – 'made of white rum cake and draped in vanilla buttercream'- and the Rocky Road Cupcake – 'warning: sugar rush ahead!' By contrast, the original magazine featured a recipe showing how to make a lethal pipe bomb using sugar, match heads and a miniature lightbulb, attached to a timer."

Did anyone else read the headline and think that MI6 had given Al Qaeda bomb plans in return for a cupcake recipe?
