Al Qaeda's 1st English Magazine?

[Cephalopod]

When I first saw this, my first reaction was: this has got to be an Onion piece or some hoax; but it's been picked up by a lot of media outlets...

Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/07/01/make-bomb-kitchen-mom-featured-al-qaedas-st-english-magazine/)
CNN (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/07/01/al.qaeda.magazine/)
The Atlantic (http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/06/al-qaedas-first-english-language-magazine-is-here/59006/)
Sky News (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Al-Qaeda-Terror-Group-Launches-First-Glossy-Propaganda-Magazine-In-English-Called-Inspire/Article/201007115657777?lpos=World_News_First_World_News_A rticle_Teaser_Region_1&lid=ARTICLE_15657777_Al_Qaeda:_Terror_Group_Launch es_First_Glossy_Propaganda_Magazine_In_English_Cal led_Inspire)
The Australian (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/al-qaeda-to-release-online-english-magazine/story-fn3dxity-1225886518863)

I won't link them all... but globally it's been showing up everywhere.

Is this real, or is someone majorly trolling the media?
