"Militants associated with Islamist group al-Qaeda hijacked..." is relatively straightforward phrase (although "hijacked" is missing a direct object).
"Militants" are violent individuals usually connected with a militia or army.
"associated with" means that the Militants are either under the guidance of or working along side the Islamist group.
"Islamist group" means an organization that believes in forming government based on Islamic principles.
"al-Qaeda" is the name of one particularly violent, persistant, and worldwide Islamist group.
"hijacked" is a past-tense verb denoting the shifting of control of one instrument of travel or directionality to another (undesirable) way.
