Zawahri the ‘brain’ to bin Laden’s body

EGYPTIAN-BORN doctor Ayman al-Zawahri is al-Qaida’s second-in-command expected to succeed Osama bin Laden.

Zawahri has been the brains behind bin Laden and his al-Qaida network, and at times its most public face, repeatedly denouncing the United States and its allies in video messages.

In the latest monitored by the SITE Intelligence Group last month, he urged Muslims to fight NATO and American forces in Libya.
