"Sword of Revenge" .. Another Egyptian may replace Ayman al-Zawahiri at the head of "Al-Qaeda"

 

After US President Joe Biden confirmed, on Wednesday, the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, speculation arose about his successor. The name of the terrorist called Saif al-Adl al-Masry, nicknamed "Sword of Revenge", and who resides in Iran, emerged again as a possible successor to al-Zawahiri for the leadership of al-Qaeda

The "sword of revenge", whose name appeared on a large scale, when rumors circulated of Al-Zawahiri's death, denied them several times, until it was confirmed that he had been killed by an American raid in Kabul. And the newspaper "Daily Mail" reported details of the possible new leader of the organization, stressing that he " pledged to restore the organization to its previous era as the days of its late leader Osama bin Laden

And seeking the effect of the "sword of revenge", many intelligence agencies in both the United Kingdom and the United States, which set a reward of 10 million dollars for anyone who provides information leading to his arrest. A British expert on terrorism believes that compared to al-Zawahiri, Saif is likely to be more effective, even more so than Osama bin Laden

Saif al-Adl has been involved in al-Qaeda activities for nearly 30 years, and a reward of 7.5 million pounds has been allocated to whoever kills him after the 1998 bombings of the US embassy in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, which left 224 people dead. He was also a leading member of bin Laden's direct protection unit in Afghanistan, dubbed the "Black Guard"

The source described the potential new leader of the terrorist al-Qaeda organization, saying: "The killing of civilians did not cause him any kind of remorse." Reports indicate that "the dangerous new leader is looking to build relationships with ISIS, Iran and the Afghan Taliban"

Colonel Richard Kemp, who has been monitoring Seif for the British government for nearly 20 years, said of him: "There is cooperation between groups like this, but Seif is so highly respected that it could constitute greater cooperation or even merger." Kemp stressed, in previous statements, that "the new (potential) leader could make al-Qaeda organized and much more effective than it was a few years ago"
