Saif al Adel, an Egyptian-born member of Al-Qaeda, has become the acting leader of the terror organization, according to a United Nations report published Monday. "Member States’ predominant view is that Saif al Adel is now the de facto leader of Al-Qaida, representing continuity for now," the report states.

There are, though, a couple of facts that inhibit the UN's ability to confirm al Adel's leadership, they write. First, Al-Qaida is heedful of the Taliban's position of not acknowledging the death of the previous Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul, Afghanistan. Zawahiri was killed in late July of 2022.

62-year-old Al-Adel is a former Egyptian special forces officer who is also popularly known by the name Ibrahim al-Madani. He was born around April 11, 1960.
United States Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] on Wednesday announced up to $10 million bounty under the Rewards For Justice Program to get any information for the apprehension or conviction of new Iran-based Egyptian Al-Qaeda chief, Saif Al-Adel.
In 2001 there was a merger between al-Qaeda and Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad, of which Al-Adel was a member.

Bottom line is this guy is highly trained and bad news
