The 'al-Sahab' media organization, al-Qaeda’s propaganda arm, released the first issue of its new English-language magazine Resurgence, which has a strong focus on the Asia-Pacific region in general, and feature articles on India and Bangladesh. The first issue also contains an article entitled “10 Facts About East Turkistan”, the name given to Xinjiang by those who favor independence from China, which seek to depict Xinjiang as a longtime independent state that has only recently been brutally colonized by Han Chinese.
