Who to Watch For

In light of the death of Osama bin Laden (man, I'll never tire of saying those words) the world intelligence communities, especially those of the U.S. and Israel, there are bound to be on the look out for hopeful up and comers that will want to be and almost assuredly will, take over the number one spot as the world's most wanted terrorist. Now that bin Laden is a martyr in the extreme Islamic world (hopefully his 72 virgins all look like Helen Thomas) this is an almost guaranteed certainty.

But who will that be? Who in the terrorist world will rise up through the ranks as the next bin Laden? Will he be as charismatic? Will he be as influential and connected? Probably not. But that doesn't mean the next insane al Qeada leader (it almost certainly won't be Ayman al-Zawahiri as he is reported to be too paranoid and unstable, albeit highly respected) won't be as evil.

Here you will find a listing of the top ten terrorist groups in the world. Not counting any groups based in Asia or most in Africa, will the next bin Laden come from one of these? You can bet the CIA, MI-5 and other Western intelligence organizations are already on top of it.
