Saif al-Adel has been appointed interim leader of the Al Qaeda extremist group. Phoro by BGNES.
Following the murder of Osama bin Laden on May 02, the operational and military control of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group has been transferred to Egyptian Saif Al-Adel.
The decision to appoint Saif al-Adel interim leader of the extremist group was driven by growing worries over the future of Al-Quaeda, according to former Libyan militant Noman Benotman.
Benotman, a former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and prominent member of Al-Qaeda, currently supplies inside information to the US intelligence services.
According to Benotman, the leadership of the extremist group may soon be transferred to Ayman al-Zawahiri, a long-time deputy of Bin Laden, as a full-fledged successor to Bin Laden.
