Tunisian women in 鈥榮ex jihad鈥 claim

Tunisian women have traveled to Syria to wage “sex jihad” by comforting Islamist fighters battling the government there, Interior Minister Lotfi ben Jeddou has told MPs.

“They have sexual relations with 20, 30, 100” militants, the minister told members of the Tunisian National Constituent Assembly on Thursday.

“After the sexual liaisons they have there in the name of ‘jihad al-nikah’ (sexual holy war, in Arabic), they come home pregnant,” Ben Jeddou said.

He did not elaborate how many Tunisian women had returned to the country pregnant with the children of jihadist fighters or how many were thought to have gone to Syria for such a purpose.
