Parents in Tunisia are up in at one of the country’s most popular children's magazines. The reason for the at the "Qaws Quzah" mag is that the latest of the publication has an article that explains how to make a petrol bomb, also as a Molotov cocktail. "Qaws Quzah" (which means “rainbow” in Arabic) is at 5- to 15-year-olds and usually educational pieces in its Knowledge Corner page. The petrol bomb feature the history of the weapon and has a picture of a glass bottle with a burning at its mouth. The article describes a Molotov cocktail as "an improvised that is often used in riots and of sabotage because it is easy to make and use".

Tunisia’s Ministry for Women and Family Affairs has started the to take legal action against the publisher. A Ministry official said the article was inappropriate, given the revolution that toppled longtime President Ben Ali in January 2011. The that triggered the uprising was the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, a 27-year-old street who set himself fire with petrol on 17 December 2010, in protest against the harassment and humiliation inflicted him by government officials. The Ministry said the "Qaws Quzah" article, " violent and terrorist thought" as well as putting children's lives in by "encouraging the use of Molotov cocktails in acts of or terrorism".
