If Osama bin Laden is dead what will happen to Al Qaeda and his untold millions?

Answer 1

When OBL does die, there is certainly a will and testament to attend to the finances of Al-Qaida and his family.

It seems that that the report in the French news paper indicating typhoid may have killed OBL, was not substantiated. In order to fulfill the role of the mahdi (divinely guided one) of Islamic eschatologic prophecy, he must escape death. OBL is not dead, yet.

I think that Osama is in Qom, Iran, the same place as Iran's Supreme's Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Remember Osama wants to bridge the gap between Sunni and Shia. The US has some control over the Musharraf government in Pakistan but not over Iran. That makes Iran the safest place for Osama. Qom and Mashad have important Muslim shrines so they are the safest cities in Iran for Osama. The Wali al Asr was hidden at Masjid Jamkaran in Qom. It would be the perfect place for Osama.

Even if the US or its allies take military action against the underground nuclear research facility at Natanz, the heavy water nuclear facility at Arak and the nuclear power plant at Bushehr, there will be no attack against the holy shrines in Qom and Mashad.

Answer 2

If Osama bin Laden is dead most Americans will need to read his obituary. It will include his 7 years as a paid agent of the CIA. It will include his funding from the US government. And it will include the USA government's financing of Al Queda through the Pakistani intelligence - the same group who claim to be helping in the 'war on terror'. This circular argument is so ridiculous that nobody really believes it any more. Osama bin Laden is today's hate figure. Tomorrow it's Saddam Hussein. Who cares ? In the eyes of most people it doesn't matter. We are trained by the corporate media to act like Pavlovian dogs - to consume the rubbish they want us to consume. It's soon coming to the point where respect for the USA constitution is evidence of deviant behavior. What a farce !

Answer 3

Don't worry there will be plenty of Osama wannabes to carry on after him.

Just look at Iraq. He's not involved there...Al Qaeda has be "Macdonaldised" by the mass media and is more of a brand name now. It's used by anyone with a grudge against the west and western like countries and their way of life.

Depressing really.

Answer 4

Although Bin Laden is from a wealthy family, he cannot access the money he has (his funds have been frozen) and that is why Al-Qaeda has to raise funds.
If he dies? Someone else will take over. Simple. The wont miss Bin Laden's money because it was never his money that they used. They raise their money.

Answer 5

I'm sure that Osama bin Laden has made his arrangements ahead of time. There will be someone to take his place. If he has an untold millions, he can't take it with him.

Answer 6

Al Qaeda will disintegrate and the world will go back to normal like it was in 2000.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter if he is dead or not, Al Quaeda has taking on a life of it's own. The more young male Iraqis see their sisters raped and other family members murdered, the more recruits Al Quaeda will have.

Answer 8

If OBL is dead i just hope to God that Al Qaeda do not come back with a vengeance in trying to prove they`re as strong as ever .... Who knows what they have up their sleeve ....

Answer 9

Either his oldest son or the next in line will assume authority. The money will be divided to some of his children from some of his 40 wives.

Answer 10

They will find a new leader and Bin Laden will become a martyr and they will grow in strength.
