Al Qaeda has named a Palestinian to be Osama bin Laden's sucessor in case the latter is arrested or killed, Russian news agency Ria-Novosti reported.

Quoting sources in Dubai, Ria-Novosti said Al-Qeada members fleeing Afghanistan have revealed this to Pakastani intelligence officers during interrogations.

The leadership of the terrorist outfit would pass over to Zain Al-Abedin Hasan, a 30-year-old Palestinian from Gaza Strip, in case of Bin Laden's death or arrest, Ria-Novosti reported.

Hasan has been based in Pershwar for the last few years, overseeing the recruitment and dispatch of mercenaries from different parts of the world to Afghanistan.

The Palestinian is accused of masterminding the terrorist attacks on citizens of western countries in Aman on New Year's eve in 2000, said Ria-Novosti.

"The leadership of the terrorist outfit would pass over to Zain Al-Abedin Hasan, a 30-year-old Palestinian from Gaza Strip, in case of Bin Laden's death or arrest, Ria-Novosti reported."

Clearly the Palestinians are making a concerted effort for the International Darwin Genocide Award. I've yet to see an entire group of people so determined to see themselves killed.

This just might be a promotion a smart guy might not want.

I wonder if Lozzi's $1 billion hit contract covers the command succession of Al-Qaida, or at least provides a reward of its own...

Kill him now.

Thought you might enjoy this. Please, tell us again how wonderful the PLO is and how awful and viscious Israel is...

[null and void]

And we thought comedy was dead...

Is this the same Hasan in the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he and Daffy wind up in a cave full of gold and that dumb dood Hasan is standing outside trying to remember the secret password?

[nocommies]

the moral of the story is : these militant fundamentalist bastards are determined to see world war three over the state of israel... plain and simple, i can hear it now, "jihad, jihad..." just hope the good ol' USA doesnt have to open up too many cans of nuclear whoop ass on them...

[princess leah]

By the way, Suceed is really spelled SUCCEED...

The culture of hate fostered under Arafart, by constantly broadcasting and teaching hate and violence, can only be eradicated by the entire elimination of those who listened and believed and are total haters now. By any means necessary. The entire population under the PA are "combatants". Children are trained to self annililate, women stab police, men blow themselves up.

How can anyone deal with people so bent on their own destruction in order to kill those they hate? It's impossible. The ONLY solution is to imprison all of them forever, or unfortunately, eliminate the problem.

If anyone can come up with an alternative, they'd immediatly win the Nobel Peace Prize. I hope they can. Killing is bad, no matter who is being killed. But I don't see any other way to solve the problem.

Let's kill this guy before OBL so that way he can not step in when needed.

"You're giving me what? Uh...Hassan ain't here right now. This is his answering machine..."

Not a hot tub,but the shrubbery forms a little path.He can share it with the Knights Who Say Ni.

[VRWC_minion]

Does he get to have the cave with the hot tub?

I'd be worried if I were him if they offer the corporate jet.

[KLT]

Well, that's a relief...and I thought AlQaeda were terrorists....(sarcasm off)

[Kenny Bunk]

"Is this a joke? This is huge."

This is Hindustan Times and Ria-Novosti. Their track record throughout this rivals Debka's for accuracy (but at least they don't claim some sort of "secret source" authority.)
