A former Egyptian special forces officer and high-ranking member of al-Qaeda is now the "uncontested" leader of the militant group.
Saif Al-Adel, who is on the FBI's most wanted list with a $10million US bounty on his head, has taken over the organisation's leadership, according to a UN report.
Al Qaeda has not formally named a successor for Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was believed to have been killed in a US missile strike in Kabul last year, dealing a blow to the organisation since its founder Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011.
