On 8 June, al-Qaeda (AQ) issued a multi-page article in its English-language magazine, One Ummah, focusing on the death of George Floyd and subsequent protests. There have been no references to the protests in AQ's central media since, though AQ and Daesh on-line followers continue to discuss and celebrate the ongoing situation in the USA.
