Tunisian women return from Syria pregnant after ‘sex jihad’

Tunisian women have travelled to Syria to wage “sex jihad” by comforting Islamist fighters battling the regime there, interior minister Lotfi ben Jeddou has told MPs.

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

“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 told the MPs.
