There's also more classic Tokyo-Rose-type stuff; from The Guardian, 14 Jan 2013 16.34 EST :

The French radio station Europe 1 broadcast a telephone interview with Omar Ould Hamaha, an Islamist militant leader. He said the French government had opened the "gates of hell" and "fallen into a trap much more dangerous than Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia". Hamaha, known as "Red Beard" because of his hennaed hair, added: "And it's only just started."

Hamaha goaded French fighters: "Come down to earth if you are men," he said. "We'll welcome them with open arms."
