About a week ago, Vice President Biden announced that two Al Qaeda leaders had been killed in a raid and now leaders of the insurgent group, the Islamic State of Iraq-- an umbrella organization over several extremist groups, acknowledged their deaths. As of now, there has been now announcement on their replacements. A total of 404 Al Qaeda members have been captured since January, so there are many vacant positions not only within leadership but also within middle to upper ranked officials. The group issued a statement which made it clear that these deaths weren't even bumps in the road and the war is not over.
