The United States State Department has confirmed that Saif al-Adel is the new chief of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Saif al-Adel is an Iran-based former Egyptian special forces officer. He has become the de-facto leader of Al-Qaeda following the July 20, 2022, death of Ayman al-Zawahiri. Saif has been credited with training some of the 9/11 hijackers. AFP reported that Saif al-Adel has been in Iran since 2002 or 2003 and was first put under house arrest but later made trips to Pakistan. Al-Qaeda’s former head, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul last year. However, Al-Qaeda has not announced a formal name for Zawahiri’s successor.
