the beat goes on - Zarqawi's Replacement Named...
'(AP) BAGHDAD Al Qaeda in Iraq announced in a Web statement posted Monday that a militant named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer was appointed the group's new leader to succeed the slain Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

His real name was not immediately known. The name al-Muhajer, Arabic for "immigrant," suggested he was not Iraqi.

"Al Qaeda 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.'

3. Where is this mystery terra-ist website?
I'd bet good money that it's registered to the Pentagon, if it exists at all.

13. Good question.
Since when did al Qaeda become some concrete organization that makes press releases and the like? I thought it was just a term loosely used to categorize terrorists.
