CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida in Iraq said in a Web statement posted Monday that a militant named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer was the group's new leader. Al-Muhajer succeeds Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed Wednesday by a U.S. airstrike on his hideout northeast of Baghdad, Iraq.
The purported successor was not immediately known. The name al-Muhajer, Arabic for "immigrant," suggested he was not Iraqi.
"Al-Qaida in Iraq's council has agreed on Sheik Abu Hamza al-Muhajer to be the successor for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the leadership of the organization," said a statement signed by the group on an Islamic militant Web forum where it often posts messages.
It said al-Muhajer was "a beloved brother with jihadi (holy war) experience and a strong footing in knowledge."

Well so the scum have a new leader for us to kill. They have vowed to make attacks in response to the killing of there leader. I say bring it! If you really think you can take on the might of the United States Military, please be my guest. This guy will die like they all will, from the working end of an M-16 assault rifle or on the recieving end of a 500 pound bomb. We will not be deafeated, the American soldier is just to good.

Can you say next? The United States won't let this guy get by with what Zarqawi did or the length of time that it took to kill that bastard. His successor is a dead man walking.
Time to turn him into a greasey spot.
