Al-Qaida shadow of former self ten years after Bin Laden death
28.04.2021
Ten years after the killing of its founder Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida bears little resemblance to the terror network that struck the U.S. on September 11, 2001, but remains a threat even under a starkly different leadership structure.
After his killing in Pakistan by U.S. special forces, Bin Laden was succeeded as al-Qaida s chief by the Egyptian jihadist Ayman al-Zawahiri, an ideologue who has cut a far less charismatic presence. Zawahiri has had to lie very low, most likely around the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, amid speculation over whether he is still even alive, while the group has now mutated into something very different.
