Nothing less than a bombshell here. Sayed Imam, the founder and first emir of Egypt's Jihad Group has severed ties with al Qaeda due to the blame he places on al Qaeda for the invasion of Afghanistan that threw the Taliban out of power.
Folks, Sayed Imam was the original bloody MENTOR of al-Qaeda No. 2, Ayman Al-Zawahiri! And although he severed ties years ago with al Qaeda, he is now placing the blame of Afghanistan on al Qaeda's 9/11 attacks.
We have seen bits and pieces of problems with the top echelon of al Qaeda over the last six months. We have seen bin Laden spank Al Qaeda in Iraq, we have seen al-Zawahiri spank those in the West Bank and Gaza and we have seen al Qaeda haphazardly calling for new operations in India and Pakistan. It's been, quite frankly, a cluster fuck.
And I ask the all important question: Where has al-Zawahiri been in the past four months??! We have had two communications from bin Laden since we have heard a peep from al-Zawahiri. Could #2 be .... dead?
Anyway, make sure you read the full story of Sayed Imam's lashing out at al Qaeda here at Alarabiya.

Zawahri's mentor says Qaeda to blame for Afghan invasion
Egypt's Jihad Group leader wants end to violence
The leader of an Islamic fundamentalist group in Egypt that was responsible for a string of terror attacks in the1980s and 1990s has publicly severed his ties with al-Qaeda and denounced its leaders.Sayed Imam, the founder and first emir of Egypt's Jihad Group, said al-Qaeda is to blame for the invasion of Afghanistan, which came as a direct reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks.Speaking to the London-based daily Al-Hayat from his high-security prison cell in Cairo, Imam lashed out at al-Qaeda No. 2, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, his student and long-time friend who once led the group.
"He and his followers betrayed Mullah Omar and dragged the U.S. to Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime."Imam said that the Egyptians are the actual founders of Al-Qaeda and that they tried to tone down bin Laden's extremes.
"Al-Qaeda has no ideology apart from bin Laden's personal whims. Whoever objects gets kicked out. This approach is what led to the Sept. 11 attacks.Imam added that the Jihad decided to dismiss Al-Zawahiri when he joined the International Front for Fighting Jews and Crusaders in 1998: "This was an explicit pact between him and bin Laden."
