The terrorist network's No. 2, Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden probably should replace, but perhaps not as quickly, the latter being probably more concerned about his own safety after the operation of U.S.
Special Forces to Pakistan against the head of al-Qaida. "It went very fast on the list," said Leon Panetta, referring to Ayman al-Zawahiri, chief spokesman of Al Qaeda.
