Ayman Al Zawahiri Convinced Osama Bin Laden to Live Like a Civilian

The Daily Mail is reporting a power struggle within Al Qaeda may have led to Osama Bin Laden's death. It was Ayman Al Zawahiri, who is second in command, who convinced Osama to leave the protected tribal areas and take up residence as a civilian in a populated area of Pakistan. They also write this was an act of betrayal so the power hungy Al Zawahiri could take over command of Al Qaeda.

With his return, Al Qaeda's Egyptian faction then hatched a plan to dispose of Saudi-born Bin Laden after irresolvable divisions developed between the terrorist group's top two men.
