The top deputy of al Qaeda number two-man Ayman Al-Zawahiri has been arrested, according to "Islamist sources in London" cited by the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute on Thursday. "Abdallah Muhammed Rajab Abd al-Rahman, aka Ahmad Hassan Abu Al-Khir, who is in charge of al Qaeda finances and the right hand man of Ayman Al Zawahiri, has been arrested," MEMRI said.
"Abu Al-Khir was previously sentenced to death in absentia in Egypt," the news service said, based on translations of a report earlier this week in the London-based newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.
In an audiotape released two weeks ago, Al Zawahiri warned of new al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. and boasted, "The American collapse has started to become a reality ... in Afghanistan. The forces of Islam and Jihad are starting to chase the crusaders and the hypocrites of Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and the Arab peninsula."

Abdallah Muhammed Rajab Abd al-Rahman, aka Ahmad Hassan Abu Al-KhirI often wonder why they bother with aliases, since to at least my western ears, it's all a blur.
