Bin Laden's eldest son takes over al-Qaeda command - report
AFX News Limited
Osama bin Laden's eldest son, Saad, has taken over the command of the al-Qaeda terror network, blamed by Washington for the Sept 11 attacks, the Saudi pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported.
Saad bin Laden has been in charge of the organization "since the US offensive against al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan," which began in October, and al-Qaeda's pullout from its main hideouts in the country, the paper said, quoting "informed sources" in a London-datelined dispatch.
This disclosure "substantiates the theory that bin Laden was killed or seriously wounded" in the US-led military campaign, the paper speculates.
Bin Laden's second son Mohammad, aged 20 yrs, had previously been expected to succeed his father in case of his death or incapacitation, Asharq Al-Awsat said, adding that Saad is "unknown" outside al-Qaeda.
