Syrian Forces Capture Al Queda Leader Dressed As Woman. Are Burqas Safe? According to recent reports, Syrian forces have just captured a leader of al-Qaeda dressed as a woman. The leader was even wearing makeup and lipstick. Raymond Ibrahim reported the following: Yesterday, many Arabic-language Internet news websites posted the following pictures, purporting to be of the leader (or emir) of the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra [Victory] Front, which is in Syria waging jihad. According to these reports, Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani had managed to pass several military checkpoints dressed as a woman, until he was arrested by the Syrian army in al-Jaswiya, al-Qusayr, in his attempt to flee to neighboring Lebanon: He shaved his beard, worked his eyebrows, and put on mascara and lipstick till he looked exactly like a woman. What do you think? Do we need to start implementing stronger security processes when it comes to burqas? Other countries have already started in this process.
