Rising leader for next Phase of Al Qaeda's War

Interesting piece, suggesting that al Qaeda is preparing a strategy against counter-radicalisation initiatives around the world. Bin Laden is seen amongst radicals as a great jihadist, but not a great scholar. Here we have a scholar who has also made a daring escape from Bagram air base/prison in Afghanistan. A more coherent argument with mainstream scholars will now take place and could prove decisive in the recruitment process.
Abu Yahya al-Libi will be a major target for security forces around the world now.
