In a joint operation, the two British intelligence agencies hacked into the magazine to remove articles by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as the aforementioned bomb-making article and a piece on “What to expect in Jihad.” The delicious disruption didn’t last long, however: AQAP reissued the magazine two weeks later.
