Obama to Speak at Ft. Campbell
BALDWIN: Now that al Qaeda's leader is gone, speculation is growing about who may be taking his place. Some say the logical choice is bin Laden's longtime deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri. Bin Laden was seen as a charismatic leader. He and al-Zawahri founded al Qaeda in 1988. Al-Zawahri is believed to be the strategic mastermind of the group, but he may not be the top candidate. Terror experts say he lacks the draw that bin Laden apparently had, and he is not regarded as an inspiring figure. But sources say al Qaeda's success plan calls for al-Zawahri to take over, but it is unclear if they will follow that. The chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that al-Zawahri is on their radar.</s>WOLF BLITZER, HOST, "THE SITUATION ROOM": Any closer to finding Ayman al-Zawahri, the number two?</s>REP. MIKE ROGERS (R-MI), CHAIR, HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: We have lots of information on him. I do believe that we're -- I can't say it's imminent, but I do believe we're hot on the trail.</s>BLITZER: In Pakistan?</s>ROGERS: I do believe --</s>BALDWIN: Another contender who take over al Qaeda is Anwar al- Awlaki. He is a cleric who was born in the U.S. Right now, he is seen as a key player in the al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, AQAP. Now, in addition to those 79 American commandos who took part in Sunday's top-secret mission, there was one nonhuman member, a dog.

But the hero canine was well-trained -- listen to this -- reportedly had special gear, including body armor, infrared cameras, even had an ear bug to hear remote commands. How about that?
