Al Qaeda Chooses Bin Laden Successor (watch) by ngodus: 6:00pm On Jun 16, 2011 |
CAIRO (AP) — Al-Qaeda has selected its longtime No. 2 to succeed Osama bin Laden following last month's U.S. commando raid that killed the terror leader, according to a statement posted Thursday on a website affiliated with the network. Ayman al-Zawahiri, who will turn 60 next week, is believed to be operating from somewhere near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. He is the son of an upper middle class Egyptian family of doctors and scholars. His father was a pharmacology professor at Cairo University's medical school and his grandfather was the grand imam of Al-Azhar University, a premier center of religious study. In a videotaped eulogy released earlier this month, al-Zawahiri warned that America faces not individual terrorists or groups but an international community of Muslims that seek to destroy it and its allies. http://kabibi.com/lates-news/politics/4210-al-qaeda-chooses-bin-laden-successor-watch.html |
