#2 This makes little sense. In the past, the AQ has pledged no allegiance other than to itself. Zawahiri certainly has more cred both as a Muslim scholar and a Muslim jihadist than does Mullah Akhtar Mansour. It makes me wonder if Zawahiri is still alive, or if he has been forced to make this submission by the Pakistani ISI in order to continue to operate from South Waziristan/east Baluchistan.

#3 Personally I'm interpreting this as a very good indicator or sign that Mullah Omar is indeed dead.

* FYI WORLD NEWS > [BBC News] BIN LADEN: OSAMA'S SON HAMZA "ISSUES AL-QAEDA MESSAGE".

Message repor calls on dedicated followers to launch "Holy War" = attacks on West includ Washington, London, Paris, + Tel Aviv.

* JAPAN TIMES > MULLAH OMAR: MORE TROUBLE DEAD THAN ALIVE.

Yuuup - MO was in favor of the Taliban's jihad or insurgency "local", I.E. CONFINED/RESTRICTED TO AFGHANISTAN= AFPAK ONLY. Now, wid his repor passing + the ISIS/ISIL trying to set up in the Region for attacks agz CENTASIA + RUSSIA + CHINA+ INDIA, THE ANTI-TALIBAN WAR AS FOUGHT THUS FAR WILL SEEM LIKE THE "GOOD OLE DAYS".
