The extremist group al-Qaeda hasn't disappeared. They are down but not out. They are grooming a leader to replace Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the ailing Egyptian doctor and leader of the extremist group. Its rumored he may have died and the organization is trying to build a more lethal al-Qaeda.

Enter Saif al-Adel, the reclusive extremist involved in the Tanzania and Kenyan bombings back in 1998. He is under indictment by the U.S. government for sponsoring and building the bombs that killed over 200 people.

He was the clean cut business executive who left the profession to join Osama bin Laden's jihad against the United States. He was fingered as one of the backers of the two truck bombings at the embassies in Dar es Saleem in Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. He financed thousands of dollars to local tribal men to drive those trucks into the embassies.

The Egyptians kept al-Adel's information on ice. He is allegedly known by his government name, Mohammed Salah al-Din Zaidan. He was a member of the Egyptian military around his teens and became an expert in bomb making and explosive detonations. They said he was trained by the Soviet Union during his brief military career. He would leave the military and join the Afghanis in the war against the Soviet Union.

He was affiliated with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Now he's a full fledge member of the Sunni Islamist extremist organization. It has been labeled as a terrorist group by the United States and 80 other countries.

The U.S. claims that Islamic Republic of Iran is where is living. They say he's a "brilliant and ruthless strategist" who will lead the extremists.

The rumors of his passing are unconfirmed as well.

The man who dubbed himself, "the sword of revenge" is hoping to rebrand the organization. They're hoping to seize on the Trump legacy and study the white nationalist tactics to infiltrate.

Last heard from in a message on the anniversary of 9/11, former leader al-Zawahiri's health and longevity have long been in doubt, although reports of his death have proved incorrect in the past. 

The Egyptian-born doctor was second-in-command to bin Laden and took over the extremist group after the Saudi's death in 2011, but its influence has waned and al-Qaeda is now widely seen as a shadow of its former self. 

One of the sources who spoke to Arab News was an al-Qaeda translator said to maintain close ties with the group, who said al-Zawahiri had died in Afghanistan.

"He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment," the translator told the outlet's Pakistani edition.  

Reports at the time suggested al-Zawahiri's death would deal a further blow to the group after it emerged that Israeli operatives had secretly killed its deputy leader on a U.S. ordered mission in Iran. 

Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, also known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was shot and killed in Tehran by an Israeli hit squad on a motorcycle. 

The operation is said to have taken place on August 7 on the anniversary of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings. 

The killing of bin Laden in a US operation in Pakistan in 2011 left the group in the hands of al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian veteran of jihad and the key al-Qaeda ideologue, but without Bin Laden's ability to rally radicals around the world. 

The U.S. government said last year that bin Laden's son Hamza was also dead, removing a man seen as a possible heir to the al-Qaeda leadership. 

The group has spawned several franchises across the world that bear its name, including in Africa's Sahel region, in Pakistan as well as in Somalia, Egypt and Yemen.

But it does not control their actions or the alliances that they may forge on a local level.
