In a web statement posted just days after Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. air raid, al Qaeda named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer as "successor in the leadership of the organization."
The statement, which could not be independently verified, said Muhajer was "a beloved brother with jihadi experience and a strong footing in knowledge."
He's got "previous jihadi experience"? So did they have some top cell leaders submit resumes? The whole thing seems surreal to me...

Not really, much of what they do are PR work, and announcing a replacement is just showing how the killing have not stopped them in any way.
The US would do the same if someone killed a senator or something of that kind.

It makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that al'queda has nothing to do with these announcements and they are 100% the work of US spin doctors. They know that americans will get bored fast if they don't have an evil mastermind to shake their fist at during fox news updates. since they aren't looking for bin laden at all (no money in it), they have to invent a new one to replace the old one they accidentally killed.
also, vince mcmahon needs a figurehead to model a wrestler after to feud with their current all american babyface.
I'm pretty sure Muhammed Hassan is next in line, followed by the Pointy-Haired Boss. But we know they're all just fodder for the real Mr Big... King Bowser Koopa.
