Qudos Appears to be Next in Line to Take Over Osama Been Ladin's Leadership

A man named Qudos appears to be taking over the command of Osama Bin Ladin. Qudos issued a public statement vowing revenge for the death of Osama Bin Ladin.

"The killing of Osama bin Laden will bring no change to jihad. Osama is the leader of al-Qaida and he is a powerful man in jihad. Losing him will be very painful for the mujahideen, but the shahadat [martyrdom] of Osama, will never stop the jihad. We will continue our fight until we liberate our lands from the Kafirs."

He said his fighters planned to launch an operation called Bader "to avenge the killing of Osama" and claimed many other similar operations would be launched.

Qudos operates from the northern province of Baghlan. So one thing is assured after the death of Osama Bin Ladin, more war.
