| [IsraelTimes] With unconfirmed rumors swirling over fate of al-Zawahiri ...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit.Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra... in wake of Abu Muhammad al-Masri’s killing in Iran, many analysts point to Saif al-Adel ...holed up in Iran from 2002 until 2010, when he made bail and moved back to the Pak-Afghan border... as next leader. |

| #7 And the discipline to walk away from the rubble and leave behind the warning that if they tried anything like it again we'd be back for round two. |

| #6 /\ Exactly correct. The Klingon method of political assassination (whack-a-mole) is a loser. "Winning" or victory requires the vanquishing and ruin of cities and entire tribes. |

| #5 If AQ ever stopped existing, the excuse for US wars in countries around the world would disappear. So they will never not be a threat. Doesn't matter how many #2 and #3 men we kill. Hell, we killed Osama bin Laden himself a decade ago and nothing changed. |

| #4 Yea, well, over the years we killed 500% of Hamas leadership - and they are still going strong. |

| #2 There were about 44 Islamists present at the August 1988 founding of Al Qaeda at Khost, Afghanistan. The cache of documents later found in Bosnia revealed most of their names. Some enterprising writer might have fun matching names with deaths and location of deaths. I wonder how many are still alive? |
