Cairo: The long-sought killing of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaida in Iraq, is set to trigger a violent backlash from his associates, according to Egyptian experts. "The problem with the US is that it focuses on the individual, not the group," said Mohammad Habib, the deputy chief of the Muslim Brotherhood. "The concept and structure of such groups are based on collectivism. They have a hierarchy of successors because they know that no-one is immortal. "Therefore, the disappearance of Al Zarqawi is unlikely to weaken his group," he told Gulf News. "His group will swiftly choose a successor in order to project a strong front," said Diaa Rashwan, an expert of Islamic group affairs.
"I think that the group will go on a spree of abducting and kidnapping foreigners and beheading them on video. "There will be also a spate of deadly bombings," he told Gulf News.
