Al Qaeda has a new leader called 'the Sword of Revenge': Egyptian former general who is now in hiding in Iran is 'set to make terror group as dangerous as they were under Osama Bin Laden'

Saif al-Adel has been described by sources as a 'brilliant and ruthless strategist', he has taken the reins following the suspected death of leader Ayman Zawahiri. Saif has been heavily involved in Al Qaeda activities for some three decades and he already has a £7.5m bounty on his head after US embassy bombings in 1998


Al Qaeda has a new leader, called 'the Sword of Revenge' who is reportedly set to make the terror group as dangerous as they were under Osama Bin Laden.

Egyptian former general Saif al-Adel is in hiding in Iran and the 'brilliant and ruthless strategist' has now taken the reins from Ayman Zawahiri, according to reports.

The former leader was rumoured to be dead late last year, following speculation he had succumbed to asthma following 'breathing issues'.

Now Saif, who has long been tracked by intelligence agencies both in the UK and the US, has taken the top job, and is preparing a 'rebrand'.

A senior British terrorism expert told the Mirror: 'Compared to Zawahiri he is likely to be a much more effective leader, at least so or more so even than bin Laden.'

Saif has been heavily involved in Al Qaeda activities for some 30 years, and already has a £7.5 million US bounty on his head, after the US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998, which left 224 dead.

The veteran fighter was a leading member of bin Laden's close protection unit in Afghanistan, named 'Black Guard' after the colour of their scarves.

A source described Saif as someone who was always 'the least affected by the deaths of innocent civilians.'

Reports suggest the dangerous new leader is looking to build ties with ISIS, Iran and the Afghanistan Taliban.

Colonel Richard Kemp, who once monitored Saif for the British Government nearly 20 years ago told the Mirror: 'There is co-operation between groups like this but Saif is so well-respected that he could cause even greater co-operation or even a merger.

'He could make Al Qaeda a much more effective organisation than it has been for a few years.'

Last heard from in a message on the anniversary of 9/11, former leader Zawahiri's health and longevity have long been in doubt, although reports of his death have proved incorrect in the past.

The Egyptian-born doctor was second-in-command to bin Laden and took over the terrorist network after the Saudi's death in 2011, but its influence has waned and Al Qaeda is now widely seen as a shadow of its former self.

One of the sources who spoke to Arab News was an Al Qaeda translator said to maintain close ties with the group, who said Zawahiri had died in Afghanistan.

'He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment,' the translator told the outlet's Pakistani edition.

Reports at the time suggested Zawahiri's death would deal a further blow to the group after it emerged that Israeli operatives had secretly killed its deputy leader on a US-ordered mission in Iran.

Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, also known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was shot and killed in Tehran by an Israeli hit squad on a motorcycle.

The operation is said to have taken place on August 7 on the anniversary of the 1998 US embassy bombings.

The killing of bin Laden in a US operation in Pakistan in 2011 left the group in the hands of Zawahiri, an Egyptian veteran of jihad and the key Al Qaeda ideologue, but without Bin Laden's ability to rally radicals around the world.

The US government said last year that bin Laden's son Hamza was also dead, removing a man seen as a possible heir to the Al Qaeda leadership.

The group has spawned several franchises across the world that bear its name, including in Africa's Sahel region, in Pakistan as well as in Somalia, Egypt and Yemen.

But it does not control their actions or the alliances that they may forge on a local level.

Not surprised...
As a real niggarrr I understand very well that terrorism can not be quashed.....their activities can only be reduced because terrorists are like hydra when their head is cut off then expect another head instantly as an outgrowth from other parts of the body

Anyway...what do I know...am just a weed smoker, a drunkard, a pussy banger, and a bomber

Terrorism is a hydra headed monster, it's head keeps growing out
It's like cutting an earthworm, it doesn't die until you put salt

No matter if any country succeeds in arresting or killing this man
Sadly another one will arise and follow his steps.

There's been speculations that Shekau had been killed, but ISWAP and Boko Haram persists.
It's not about Shekau

It's sad because it's a vicious cycle. It just keeps rolling.
You need to see documentaries and leaked videos of how little children as young as 5 are already being trained, taught to hate and indoctrinated.

Many of their children are pushed to the Western world to school, give birth, obtain citizenship, run for offices, change policies to their favour, destroy foundations and principles and that's the end of Solomon Grandi.

Do you know who the mayor of London is abi was? It's not about his religion but his extremism.
Its not about religion or tribe, but extremism and the devil.
After all Rev King claims to be a 'Christian' and his followers are spending millions on birthday ads for him. Was he a Christian leader before incarceration? Could he have been regarded as a servant, follower or obedient child of God?

Its not about religion or tribe.
Many Christian missionaries who go to opposing regions are killed despite their good deeds for them. See China, see Somalia, see Congo and see Yemen.

Some Imams and lay faithful of Islam have helped to shield and hide people of other faiths (Jews and Christians) during attack on the "infidels"

What is it then?
Extremism.

The extreme CAC member who won't marry from Apostolic faith. The sunni girl who won't marry the shia man. The wawa father who won't give out his daughter to the osu man. The Ebira who won't vote for the Okun. The Catholic who would say other denominations are inferior and the Assemblies of God member who'd say all catholics don't know bible and worship Mary.

Fallacies. Extremism. Hate. Vile. Herd-mentality. Bandwagon. ITKs

Someone will come and say who am I to judge?

Common sense and your conscience will judge you?

Ordinary common sense will reveal many truths to us but because that truth sounds like what's from the Bible we quickly condemn it, reject and blaspheme it, just to prove to be neutral, secular, woke, atheist, anti Christian, logical or open minded. The fact is that there is the absolute truth.

You can't be open minded with issues of corruption, oppression, rape, ritualists or scam. It's sealed! One way road...

So how can you excuse a guy who scammed a random man using his ATM or BVN to pay his school fees and forget the victim who happens to be a pensioner who relied on that money for his daily upkeep and BP medications? You justify Osama bin laden, terrorism, kidnapping, forceful marriage, under aged marriage, destruction of other's livelihoods, imposition of their own in faith based schools, subtle jihad and conquest from a religion, just because you don't want to look bias and one sided! They are your neighbours, in laws, Co workers and helpers so you keep shut and wait for meat from the next Ileya.

Are you kidding me? You better take sides, even if people tell you that you are not open minded, you are partial, a bigot, unaccommodating and all the false narratives they've used to quench the spirit of many gullible Christians. Christians who like the seeds who fell on the rocks and thorns have been drowned by the world.

Stand for your faith and defend your Bible and it's teachings. God's word and be an ambassador for Jesus Christ, God's son, the light and only saviour.

Are you ashamed of being a man (eg Bobrisky), or a woman (because Mosdi says the ones in Nigeria are all useless including the seamstresses, lawyers, teachers, nannies, bakers, engineers, doctors, nurses, all and all his female relatives, which you laugh off as nothing)?

Then why should you be ashamed of living as a Christian? Why do you leave it in church like a garment and 'secularise' all through the rest of the week, online, at work, even at home and in your hood. Just so you won't be regarded as a bigot, simp, dull close minded illogical person, holier than thou or spirikoko?

Are you a Christian and you see an unrepentant sinner blaspheme and ridicule your faith and you keep quiet, you don't correct the person in love and stand for the right position? You don't do well. Even if it's in jokes, comedy skits, false prophets on the altar or on the political terrain.

Are you a Christian and a fellow Christian is being threatened to be killed by Boko Haram by live streaming and it doesn't touch you that this is a deliberate fight against the kingdom of God and you are not praying or speaking aganist it or condemning it or raising awareness about it at all? That's not right.

Are you a Christian and you feel because Reno or any other person you don't like like FFK speaks up for Leah Sharibu you won't do anything about her case? A Muslim girl was 'falsely' accused of carrying drugs in Saudi and the FG and Abike swiftly acted and got her released. Do you know how many Christians have been coincidentally falsely accused and had drugs planted on them in Malaysia and co who have been 'successfully' killed without any intervention by FG? See the xenophobic attack in SA, Ghana and covid19 discrimination by China against Nigerians from a part of Nigeria which government never spoke up for. Who's speaking up for the Obigbo community? Which news outlet, political party, NGO, celebrity, blog, protest match, church, adviser or group? No Gumi from the SS SW SE or NC?

If you think September 11 2001 didn't concern you as a Nigerian, think again. It was an attack on the world. An attack in a place they knew citizens from several nations will be in. It was an attack against a country that is carrying 'Christianity' on its head like a turban or tray of agbalumo, but is deep rooted in satanism, secularism and sin. Still they attack them in the guise of attacking the judo Christian God.

Imagine if someone killed your brother or neighbour thinking it was you, who he actually intended to kill.
Would you be happy? Would you heave a sigh of relief knowing that even if they missed you as their target, their intention has killed you already in their minds? No na

Finally, if you are Anglican and they kill a Catholic seminarian in Zaria, they kill you.
If you are in Christ embassy and they kill an RCCG member out on morning cry, they kill you.
If you are in GOFAMIT and they abduct ECWA members from Chibok or Sabo Tasha, they did it to you.
If you are in Deeper life and they ridicule Living Faith over what the Bible says, they ridicule you.

My observation is this,
When I type with my android and I type satan, they automatically change the s to uppercase.
When I type Jesus, they auto-correct it as jess, or leave it as jesus without changing the j to J.
They x the Christ in Christmas and Christianity.
They pause God in Multichoice.
They leave El Amin and attack schools for the low income earners in big Niger.
They leave the Indimis and Buratais and conveniently take the Dapchis.
They leave Akpos who had a 1st class and a PhD and appoint a Bawa.
They kill a Terwase who surrendered and embraced peace and was going for reconciliation and they leave a man named Sokoto who admitted to bombing the UN building.
They leave a Gumi who has robbed shoulders with the killer kidnappers and arrest an Obadiah the CBN man and summon him to Abj and Lag for questioning.
They leave southern Kaduna and Ulemo road before Auchi and instead hover their helicopters over Orlu
