Al Qaeda newspaper launch

Al Qaeda is preparing to launch its first online newspaper in English, a move that could help the terror group recruit inside the United States and Europe.

The group has begun promoting the propaganda paper, called Inspire, with animated online graphics promising "special gift to the Islamic nation".

Counterterrorism officials and terror analysts say it will be run by al Qaeda's branch in Yemen.

Until now, al Qaeda has relied on Arabic websites to carry its message.
