I'm shocked as well. And all these people seem "related" in some way ...like their affiliation with bin Laden.

Syed was educated at the London School of Economics and has experience in international money transfers. Indian intelligence officials said the last time they spotted him was six months ago at a bookstore in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Does anyone know if this guy is the one who is a doctor? the second in command to Osama?

You are thinking of Dr. Zahawi, an Egyptian, who is second in command.

This Syed guy sounds like he might be VP-Finance...
