And in other news, Al-Qaeda has a new leader
Edited on Thu Jun-16-11 10:18 AM by Turbineguy
Dr Ayman "Do No Harm" Al-Zawahiri named to top post.

“We ask God for this to be a new era for al-Qaeda under the leadership of Ayman Zawahiri, an era that will purify Muslim land of every tyrant and infidel,” al-Qaeda said in a statement posted on a website frequently used by the group.

2. I wonder what the odds are in Vegas on how long he'll live.
I'll bet his life expectancy is pretty low.

3. That's interesting, I didn't think their elections had even started.
I guess I don't have a good grasp on their whole nomination process though. I'm not even sure if this new job will get him more pay or just more responsibility.

It's also interesting that our media will accept as gospel an internet post by an unknown person.
