You mean, he’s the reason Hamza doesn’t have to stay on a newspaper?

So, Clapton shot Al-Sharif, but did not shoot the deputy?

A good report by Kyle Orton, incl murky connections to Russia and Iran.

I’m waiting for them to figure it out to not have “Number 2” guys. Just skip to number 3. Sort of like how some buildings don’t have a 13th floor. (I don’t know - do they still do that?)

“someone else steps right up”

Of the 10 original AQ Shura members that planned 9/11, only 3 are left.

What is happening is that the old school muj, going back to the Russian-Afghan war are being killed off. They won’t be replaced with the same muj that are loyal to the death, to each other.

That means, that the new guys are more available to be turned, bought off, and AQ. ISIS, and all jihadists will become more and more fractured and easier to degrade.

It is a war of attrition with a generation of jihadists that won’t be replaced.

We have technology and money penetration that we never had before. Islam was the original organizing bond, tribalism, sectarian infighting, and opportunism is tearing that apart.

That is how the enemy will be degraded.

Bin Laden would still be alive if he hadn’t buckled in to his women whom were not going to live in caves like Zawahiri.

The interesting part of this story is the source(s), i.e. the UK propaganda outfit for Sunni jihadists in Syria and the White Helmets, Hollywood's favorite Al Qaeda public relations arm.

Al Qaeda #2 guy does not have much job security. Or life insurance. I doubt he even gets a chair at his desk.
