Zarqawi successor named
Al-Qaeda in Iraq said in a Web statement posted Monday that a militant named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer was the group’s new leader.Al-Muhajer succeeds Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed Wednesday by a U.S. airstrike on his hideout northeast of Baghdad, Iraq.
The name al-Muhajer, Arabic for “immigrant,” suggested he was not Iraqi.
“Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s council has agreed on Sheik Abu Hamza al-Muhajer to be the successor for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the leadership of the organization,” said a statement signed by the group on an Islamic militant Web forum where it often posts messages.
Hopefully his position of leadership will only be a short term and he will get the same retirement package that Zarqawi did.
