Washington DC: Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri died on Sunday, forcing al-Qaeda members to consider who would be his successor. After the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011, Zawahiri took control of the terrorist organization and ruled it for more than ten years. Zawahiri was an inspiration to Osama bin Laden.

Another Egyptian name became famous with his death. Security experts believe that Saif al-Adl may succeed as leader of the group.

According to a report in the Associated Press, Saif al-Adl is widely believed to be in the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. Saif al-Karisma Adal appeals to the terrorists and he feels that by doing so, Al Qaeda will be able to persuade more and more Muslims to join the terrorist organization.

According to the Most Wanted poster of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, the terrorist uses several aliases similar to other leaders of his group (FBI), including Muhammad Ibrahim Makawi, Seif al-Adel and Ibrahim al-Madani.

Saif al-Adl, who was born in Egypt in the 1960s, is a senior member of al-Qaeda and, like Ayman al-Zawahiri, is affiliated with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ). A $10 million bounty has been placed on his head by the FBI and the US State Department.

When Saif al-Adl and other terrorists bombed US embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, they killed nearly 250 innocent people.

In early 2013, two years after the death of Osama bin Laden, there were rumors that Saif al-Adl would take over as ruler. The former Egyptian army colonel moved aside to make room for Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Western Democrats worry that Saif's charisma will encourage more Muslims from Afghanistan and other Muslim-majority countries to join al-Qaeda.

If elected leader of the terrorist organization, Saif will need to strengthen ties with far-right allies of al-Qaeda spread across Southeast Asia, Yemen and North Africa. He believes that international jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda have been "separated from the realities of conflict thousands of miles away." These allies are locally focused jihadist organizations.

Violent newcomer extremist organizations such as the Khorasan branch of Islamic State in the region also pose problems for him. It is uncertain whether he will receive the same support from the Taliban government as Zawahiri.
