Tracking the most sophisticated terrorist organisation which was able to deceive the world by knowing and using the weaknesses of western political dynamics
Al-Qaeda currently has 34 training camps and several jihadi madrasas operating in Afghanistan
As the map shows most of the terrorist training camps are on the Haqqani Network controlled area and they belong to al-Qaeda associated groups, like TTP, IMU, ETIM, Jaish al-Adl, Jamaat
Let's keep going with Hamza bin Laden, the Emir of al-Qaeda, resident of Afghanistan
Hamza has 4 wives - as far as we know
1. Daughter of Umar Mullah
2. Maryam Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, daughter of Abu Mohamed al-Masri
3. Khadija al-Zawahiri, daughter of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri

Saad is one of the sons of Usama bin Laden. He took his father’s footsteps and became an active member in al-Qaeda. Saad spent several years in Iran after the US attack on the Taliban and al-Qaeda

Al-Qaeda Central Command - Reality

Al-Qaeda – The Base - Central Command is in Afghanistan, led by the Amir, Hamza bin Laden. Saif al-Adl is the chief of external operations and both of them are in Afghanistan, under the protection of the Taliban GDI and the Haqqani
Usama bin Laden’s three children took al-Qaeda’s top 3 positions and they live in Afghanistan under the protection of the Kandahari Taliban and the Haqqani Network
Officially they became Afghan citizens. They received Afghan IDs and passports under new names
In October 2023, the Taliban sent 10k fighters to Iraq and Syria to participate in the war against Israel and carry out attacks against American assets
We can confirm that the Taliban has mobilized fighters again. They are en route to Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon

Anyone who knows me can guess what’s coming after my post on Haqqani biometric targeting and the fact that Sirajuddin Haqqani controls AABIS, the system that creates and houses all of Afghanistan’s passports.
Mullah Baradar has been extremely underestimated by the US. He was one of the Taliban Doha negotiators picked by the Obama administration. Seems like his wife can travel to the US by a visa issued by the US DoS

The elected emir of al-Qaeda is Hamza Mohamed Awad bin Laden
"a lion from the den of al-Qaida"
Stay with us and we are going to provide you more information about him and why his “fake death” actually is a key to understand the new strategy of al-Qaeda.
We are jumping onto the latest UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team report because it has so many mistakes. Many misunderstandings, misleading information:
“Al-Qaeda capacity to conduct large-scale attacks continues to be limited..”
Correction: Al-Qaeda Central
The Taliban has been using a system, similar to what they set up during their first regime, to resettle foreign al-Qaeda members and fighters in Afghanistan. This list of rules provides protection to both of them by staying under the radar of foreign intelligence services
What do you think could be an ultimate warning sign that would wake our politicians up and would stop the denial of real operational capacity and activity of al-Qaeda?
As we mentioned earlier! IS/ISKP has training centers in the North of Afghanistan and in Pakistan. The chief of IS operations and recruitment is Gulmorod Khalimov in Afghanistan. Khalimov works together with the GDI (Tajmir Jawad and Abdul Haq Washiq weekly goes to Takhar,

Who is the emir of al-Qaeda?
First, allow us to give some background information.
After Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri’s death, there has not been any official announcement from al-Qaeda confirming the death of Zawahiri nor the name of the new leader
For the record:
Since the Taliban returned into power, several small groups have been formed and collecting intelligence from the ground. We are a team of teams. We share and we cooperate with each other

Al-Shabaab's over 1 hour-long video, featuring a large number of recruits undergoing training, is a stark manifestation of global Jihad. Video identifies 15 regions, as per the group's claim, where Muslims are being persecuted, notably India & Kashmir are included in the list
We would like to add few thoughts to this article
‼️Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri had a decades of stronger relationship with the Haqqani family than with the Kandahari Taliban. He was a personal friend of Jalaluddin Haqqani and he saw Sirajuddin Haqqani growing up during the wars. Often

And yes, Hamza bin Laden is alive and was elected to be the Emir of al-Qaeda

5. During his time in Iran Hamza was under the direct protection of Saif al-Adl, who is the leader of external operations of al-Qaeda and the Emir’s most trusted advisor
2. Hamza was targeted by a drone strike – 14 September, 2019 - in Ghazni province, Afghanistan. On the same day the US President announced Hamza’s death to the public.
This shows that the Taliban not just trained Hamas but also sent fighters to participate in the attack and in the ongoing fight against Israeli forces inside Gaza
3. After few months of the airstrike Hamza was seen in Paktia province and his survival was reported to the US by the Afghan National Directorate of Security. There is no available information if the President of the USA was informed or he wasn’t about the survival of Hamza.
