TI  - Te Last Hope for the al-Qa`ida Old Guard? A Profile of Saif al-`Adl
KW  - Al Qaeda
N2  - Saif al-`Adl has been described as one of al-Qa`ida’s most efective operatives and one of the few remaining leaders from the pre-9/11 era with the stature to take over from current al-Qa`ida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. There has been renewed focus on al-`Adl since unconfirmed reports surfaced last year of his release from Iranian imprisonment, but his current status remains unclear. This profile provides a brief biographical sketch of al-`Adl and examines the impact he might have on al-Qa`ida operations and strategy if his release is confirmed
