CAIRO: A US air strike has killed al-
Qaida's No. 2 leader, who
commanded its powerful Yemeni
affiliate, dealing the global network
its biggest blow since the killing of
Osama bin Laden and eliminating a
charismatic leader at a time when it
is vying with the Islamic State group
for the mantle of global jihad.
In a video statement dated June 14
and released on Tuesday by the
Yemeni affiliate, a senior operative
announced the death of Nasir al-
Wahishi, a veteran jihadi who once
served as bin Laden's aide-de-camp,
and said his deputy, Qassim al-
Raimi, has been tapped to replace
him.
