From http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200606/s1658977.htm :

"An Egyptian named Abu al-Masri is thought to be the next in line to command the Al Qaeda network in Iraq."

Forgive me if I'm wrong, my arabic isn't so hot.. but doesn't his name translate to "the guy from egypt"? :)

If that's the case, does it mean "Abu al-U.N.C.L.E." means what I think it means?

As far as I know.

Which... I too could be wrong, but it sounds like some kind of giant joke on intelligence services.

"Who's next in charge?"
"Some guy from Egypt!"
"Ah-HA! WE'VE CRACKED IT WOO!"
