The al Qaeda-linked Turkistan Islamic Party is actively training female recruits to wage jihad in South and Central Asia.

A short, one minute long video by the Turkish Islamic Party shows five burka-clad women training with pistols, assault and sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers. A male trainer is seen directing the women. The Turkish Islamic Party’s distinctive light blue flag is seen flying in the background.

The video was first obtained by The Sunday Times and was shared with The Long War Journal. It was produced by Islam Awazi, the Turkish Islamic Party’s official media outlet.

The location of the training camp was not disclosed, however the video was likely filmed in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan. The Turkish Islamic Party is known to host training camps in the tribal agency, particularly in the Mir Ali area.
