US vows To Hunt Down New al-Qaeda leader
 

Well that dident take long for a new leader, and when they kill him another one will take his place just a never ending circle..

The US will hunt down and kill new al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri as it did Osama Bin Laden, Washington's top military officer has vowed.


Adm Mike Mullen said al-Qaeda still posed a threat to the US.

"As we did both seek to capture and kill - and succeed in killing - Bin Laden, we certainly will do the same thing with Zawahiri," he said.

Zawahiri's appointment was posted on a militant website and attributed to al-Qaeda's General Command.

"There is not a surprise from my perspective that he has moved into that position," Adm Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told journalists.

The country of neverending wars...drugs, terrorism...what next?

if there's no such thing as al-Qaeda, how did they appoint him the new leader of their organization and why is he playing along?
