Playboy magazine is to publish photographs of a Muslim woman fully clothed and wearing a hijab.

Noor Tagouri, 22, a Muslim-American journalist of Libyan descent, will feature in next month's issue of the men's publication.

Miss Tagouri will be shown wearing a leather biker jacket, black jeans, and with her head covered.

Her portrait was taken as she sat on a wooden bench in front of a bullet-riddled American flag.

It is part of Playboy's "Renegade" series which focuses on people who have "risked it all, even their lives, to do what they love, showing us what can be accomplished if we break the rules".

In the accompanying interview Miss Tagouri describes her attempts to become the first anchor to wear a headscarf on commercial US television.
