ANI Washington

A media-oriented group linked to al-Qaeda is set to launch the terrorist group's first-ever English-language Internet magazine called 'Resurgence'.

A promotional video for the new magazine was posted online over the weekend by as-Sahab, a group that has for years released messages from Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The two terrorists are believed to have taken control of Al Qaeda original core following the 2011 death of Osama bin Laden.

The video uses audio from Malcom X, the late African American Muslim and human rights activist, who was assassinated in 1965 while promoting the U.S.-based Nation of Islam, the Washington Times reports.

The video appears to have combined audio from a 1965 Malcolm X speech justifying violence.
