Molotov Cocktail for Kids

Molotov

Parents in Tunisia are up in arms at one of the country's most popular children's magazines. The reason for the outrage at the "Qaws Quzah" mag is that the latest edition of the publication has an article that explains how to make a petrol bomb, also known as a Molotov cocktail. "Qaws Quzah" is aimed at 5- to 15-year-olds and usually features educational pieces in its Knowledge Corner page.

The petrol bomb feature describes the history of the weapon and has a picture of a glass bottle with a burning rag at its mouth. The article describes a Molotov cocktail as "an improvised weapon that is often used in riots and acts of sabotage because it is easy to make and use".
