And he is definitely the kind of son only a mother could love...
From AKI:
Jihadist websites were flooded with messages of condolences to Al-Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri over his mother's death. Umayma Azzam, died from a heart complaint in the Egyptian capital, Cairo on Sunday, at the age of 75. She died at Cairo's al-Salam hospital, where she was admitted earlier last week.
In a message posted to the Arabic news website Moheet, Azzam's brother Mahfouz al-Azzam said he was proud of his nephew al-Zawahiri who he said "defends the principles of Islam". (ed. note: I'd be investigating the uncle and the whole damn family)
Al-Azzam announced his sister's death and said she was buried on Sunday in a high-security ceremony at a local mosque in the Cairo suburb of Halwan. Almost everyone in the town attended the funeral, according to witnesses. (ed. note: And I'd be putting "everyone in the town" under the microscope, too. But that's just me.)
The Azzam family is one of the most prominent in Cairo. Mahfouz al-Azzam, a retired judge, was recently appointed the leader of the local Socialist party. Al-Zawahiri's maternal grandfather, Abdel Wahab Azzam, was rector of the University of Cairo and Egypt's ambassador to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. (ed. note: How convenient - both hotbeds of terror.)
The current whereabouts of 58-year-old al-Zawahiri are unknown. A qualified surgeon, he and Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the top leadership of the terror network are believed to be hiding in Pakistan.
