SUCCESSOR
2. Meet al Qaeda's Next Likely Leader
Osama bin Laden was a big name in terrorism and al Qaeda's well-known
leader, but few know of his equally powerful right hand man, the
terrorist network's Egyptian deputy Ayman Al-Zawahri. While it's too
early to tell exactly how al Qaeda would handle a transition of power,
terror specialists believe al-Zawahri would be his likely successor.
Al-Zawahri became a Jihadist activist when he was just a teenager and
later went to Afghanistan as a doctor to treat Islamists fighting off
Soviet forces. Bin Laden and al-Zawahri met in the late 1980s, when
al-Zawahri reportedly tended to bin Laden's battle wounds in the caves
of Afghanistan. The jihadist doctor immediately befriended the jihadist
Saudi millionaire, and their bond was the foundation for the al Qaeda
terror network. When the U.S. pushed al Qaeda out of Afghanistan in 2001
following the September 11 attacks, al-Zawahri played a crucial role in
keeping the terror network together. In a 2001 treatise, al-Zawahri
pronounced a long-term strategy for the jihadi movement—to inflict "as
many casualties as possible" on the Americans.
