Saif al-Adel also known as Muhamad Ibrahim Makkawi, the 50 year old Egyptian explosives expert and former Egyptian Special Forces officer is reported to have been chosen as the interim leader of al-Qaeda after the death of Osama bin Laden in a dramatic US Navy Seals commando raid in Pakistan. Al-Adel is considered a leading strategist and military leader, is currently under indictment in the US for bombings of embassies in Africa. He has been credited with masterminding the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Al Sadat, the repelling of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and training Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Bin Laden's long-time deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri had been considered the likely successor, although not popular within the organization. Al-Adel’s interim appointment may well be to gauge reaction for someone outside the Muslim holy region of the Arabian Peninsula.

David Sean Ferriero the 65 year old American librarian and the 10th Archivist of the United States Fame comes to men in many strange ways (February 1 2011)

David Sean Ferriero the 65 year old American librarian and the 10th Archivist of the United States has revealed that Thomas Lowry an amateur historian had confessed to altering the date on an original pardon signed by President Abraham Lincoln to make it look as if the pardon was one of the president’s final acts just prior to his assassination. Lowry is alleged to have changed the dates from 1864 to 1865 in order to promote his book after finding many unpublished Lincoln documents in the National Archives. The pardon related to the sparing of a mentally incompetent Army private from the death penalty for desertion. Ferriero indicated that the statute of limitations had lapsed preventing criminally prosecution, however Lowry will be barred from National Archives facilities.
