SNIPPET: “The video surfaces in the wake of a decline in Al Qaeda membership, according to the news agency.”

SNIPPET: “Evan Kohlmann, ABC News’s terrorism analyst, notes that Resurgence appears to be modeled after Inspire, the magazine produced by Al Qaeda in Yemen (AQAP). AQAP was named as the most dangerous Al Qaeda faction by US officials last year.
 
“The announcement appears to be a tacit acknowledgement of the success of Inspire,” Kohlmann noted, adding that the new magazine copies “everything from the fonts, the graphics, and the use of iconic voices and images.”

“Clearly, Al Qaeda’s central leadership is seeking to try and recruit Americans from within U.S. borders, including indirectly if necessary — the homegrown terrorism model,” he added.”
