ecent intelligence indicates that al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has a "heart complaint," according to a senior official involved in international counterterrorism efforts.
The official said the information suggests Zawahiri had a potentially serious condition but cautioned it was difficult to ascertain the severity of his health problems and what effect they might have on his longevity.
The possibility that Zawahiri, who just turned 68, is seriously ill increases uncertainty over al Qaeda's long-term leadership succession plans.
Osama bin Laden's son Hamza bin Laden had been widely tipped to one day take over command of al Qaeda but a US official told CNN on Wednesday that the US now believes that he is dead.

With Bin Laden's son dead, and if Al Zawahiri dies, AQ will lose leadership and maybe it just gets disbanded. They already caused enough damage.
Kinda need to have one first..
I doubt al Qaeda will disband, but I want the popcorn concession for the Internecine warfare for the top position...
So?
Cut it out of him...
I don’t it’s working anyway
like Osama’s son, didnt he already die?
It doesn’t matter. AQ, ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah — all are just tentacles of the Global Jihad. Chop off one, another will grow.
The primary target should be the “respectable” money people behind the scenes, the ones who financially support jihad. The ultimate target is Islam itself.
These guys are like sharks' teeth. When one dies, another moves into his place.
He’s lived nearly 20 years longer than he should have, thanks to his friends in the Pakistani military.
Probably all the Democrat presidential candidates would want to bring him here and give him taxpayer sponsored heart transplant surgery.
The Democrat candidates will immediately announce free full coverage health care for him.
Q; How can you mend a broken heart?
A; Daisy Cutter.
How long before Democrats propose that he come here to a very fine heart institute?
too much inbreeding with goats.
Considering how much we have spent looking for the guy, I'd be fine with that. I'd volunteer to be the courier who picks up the organ at the airport and delivers it. I know a butcher who would be happy to give me a fresh pig heart.
“I doubt al Qaeda will disband, but I want the popcorn concession for the Internecine warfare for the top position...”
I can see ISIS controlling Al Queada over in a hostile takeover.
My cat dumps her letterbox on your grave, Al Zawahiri.
