MIAMI – A suspected al-Qaida operative who lived for more than 15 years in the U.S. has become chief of the terror network's global operations, the FBI says, marking the first time a leader so intimately familiar with American society has been placed in charge of planning attacks.
Adnan Shukrijumah, 35, has taken over a position once held by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was captured in 2003, Miami-based FBI counterterrorism agent Brian LeBlanc told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.

This makes all of us a potential target - no matter where we live, we are not safe.
You did. Just as you knew Osama was dead (in frikkin 2005, already). Kinda amusing to see these incompetent and/or lying figureheads spouting random noise, just contributing to chaos.
Quick, nobody look at the flap-eared one in the Oval Office...
