But that's not how it works

Bin Laden was the "Leader" because he was the guy who provided the other guys with weapons and money.

Al-Qaeda doesn't have a "You killed the leader, whole organisation goes to hell". It is composed by cells who share the same ideology of Bin Laden.

As I said in layman's terms, it's just like cutting the top of a tree, the tree is not with ipart of it's leaves, but the whole tree didn't crumble.
