Who are the most sought after Bin Laden?

On the FBI website, the name of Osama bin Laden was not (yet) erased from the list of "super-refined," the most wanted. But, next to the name of the founder and leader of the al Qaida terrorist network, there is the diction deceased, deceased, as if to say "this we removed him to come back." The killing of Osama, the sheikh of terror, change the map of the fugitives of America (and the world).

Magazines such as Forbes, Time, draw charts that give the impression of a journalistic changing of the guard in the security priorities of international drug traffickers and mobsters, including Italian, at the top of the list, instead of terrorists. But the FBI and the CIA, which tend to business and do not look at the title, have a more conservative line.

If we use the size of the cut, as an objective criterion to assess the perceived danger of inquiry, we see that the clique of al Qaeda continues to dominate the scene. Exit Osama, a savings of $ 25 million - the size will not be paid, it was said, to silence voices of blown and betrayal.

Stay, "quoted" as he, his deputy and likely successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian doctor, less charismatic figure and physically less hieratic, but ideologically prepared. Then, with a size of 5 million, some al-Qaeda's old course, Yemenis held responsible for the attack on the destroyer Cole (17 dead in autumn 2000, entering the port of Aden), Lebanese protagonists considered to hijack planes in 1985, an alleged "bomber" in 1998 of U.S.

embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salam. Worth a million a tip leading to Adam Gadahn, the American jihaddista, spokesman for California - strange but true - of al Qaeda. In this "hit parade" official, the first Islamic fundamentalist is not listed "only" 250 thousand dollars is Daniel Andreas San Diego, a fundamentalist of the animal, an action which saved guinea pigs, but he made two human victims.

For American intelligence, as the U.S. Federal police, the killing of Osama does not change, therefore, at least hot, the perception of threat. But, for some time, Hollywood and the TV series are looking for bad alternative to Middle Eastern terrorism, so all of a piece in his fanaticism as to have little appeal as a character.

And then, while Time is happy to put Osama in historical perspective - one of the biggest criminals of all time, or one of the "Scarlet Pimpernel" better protected from the hideouts (until 1 May) -, Forbes puts the "Short" at the top of his world ranking of 10 most wanted: Joaquin Guzman, known as El Chapo - is short of stature -, murderous Mexican drug trafficker.

Just behind, the Indian criminal Dawood Ibrahim, who also collaborates with terrorist organizations (it was his paw in the attacks in Mumbai in 2008, more than 190 victims). Forbes does not forget al-Zawahiri, including our own mafia as Matteo Messina Denaro, the head of Cosa Nostra after the arrest of Bernardo Provenzano, and pendants from genocide in Africa.

Official lists and rankings release are given in common: not open to "post-Soviet." The quintessential James Bond villains and Air Force One are now icons of the past.
