Based on CNN report on Tuesday (05/17/2011), which quotes Noman Benotman, a former Libyan guerrillas who had joined Al Qaeda and have a detailed knowledge of the group lunge kick, Saif al Adel has long played an important role in Al Qaeda. Noman Benotman Al Qaeda's leadership has known for more than two decades. He never became the leader of Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a militant organization that was allied with Al Qaeda, but in recent years has left the ideology of the international terrorist network.
Benotman told CNN that based on personal communication with a number of militants of Al Qaeda and the discussions in the forum of jihad, al-Adel, also known as Muhammad Ibrahim Makkawi, has been chosen as interim leader of Al Qaeda's global jihad as the community continues to boil in recent days was not associated with the official announcement about a replacement bin Laden. According Benotman, it is not a formal decision of Al Qaeda's shura council, because it's not currently possible to gather them in one place. Al Adel appointment decision seems to be a decision of only six to eight leaders of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. According Benotman, Al-Adel has become one of the top leaders in small groups.
Pakistan newspaper, The News, as quoted by AFP on Wednesday, confirmed the claims. The newspaper quoted unnamed sources in articles he wrote from Rawalpindi, a city which is the headquarters of the Pakistan Armed Forces near the capital Islamabad.
However, Benotman said, the choice of an Egyptian citizen may not be not so well received by some members of Al Qaeda from Saudi Arabia and Yemen, who believed that Osama replacement must come from the Arabian Peninsula, an area sacred to all Muslims. Osama itself comes from wealthy Saudi family.
All this is touted as the successor to Osama is Ayman al-Zawahiri, also an Egyptian, and has long been a deputy of Osama. According Benotman, which is one reliable source of information about Al Qaeda, while Al Adel appointment may be the only way to gauge reaction to the choice of someone who comes from outside the Arabian Peninsula as the leader of Al Qaeda.
Al-Adel has come against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the 1980s. After the Taliban fell in the winter of 2001, he fled to Iran. According to senior counterterrorism officials Arabia, from Iran Al Adel authorize a branch of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia to launch a campaign of terrorist attacks in the Saudi kingdom that began in Riyadh in May 2003. Action was killed scores of people.
Several reports in the past year stating that the Al Adel has left Iran to Pakistan.
One important issue that Al Adel must face today is the large amounts of sensitive information falling into the hands of U.S. forces in the complex in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama was shot dead on 2 May. Such information will surely disrupt the plans of Al Qaeda operations.
CNN reported, the existence of a leader while allowing Al Qaeda to begin the process of collecting loyalty, or aged, from Al Qaeda affiliates like Al Qaeda based in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula Al Qaeda's North Africa, based in the Islamic Maghreb. Baya is an oath of kesetian to Osama than to the organization itself, just like the oath of allegiance to Hitler's Nazi Party members than to Nazism. Baya it must now be transferred to whoever the new leader of Al Qaeda, that could could have been al-Zawahiri, who for so long given the role as a representative of Osama.
