The US killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri during a drone operation in Afghanistan, according to President Joe Biden. According to reports, he was killed on July 30, 2022, in Kabul, the Afghan capital, during a CIA counterterrorism operation. He was one of the “most wanted terrorists” in America, and they worked together on the 9/11 attacks. According to Mr. Biden, Zawahiri “created a path of murder and brutality against American civilians.”
With Ayman al-death Zawahiri’s on July 30 in a US drone strike in Kabul, the terrorist group will no longer have Osama bin Laden as its leader. Since Osama bin Laden, the organization’s founder and former leader was assassinated by US special forces in Pakistan in May 2011, this represents al-greatest Qaeda’s setback. The White House declared on Monday night (local time) that Zawahiri had also been killed. President Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president during the search for Osama bin Laden.
The drone operation that resulted in al-death Zawahiri’s was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The top intelligence organization used the following strategies to track down, identify, and kill the terrorist commander: Officials claim that Zawahiri was on the balcony of a secure home when the drone fired two missiles at him. Despite being present, other family members did not sustain any injuries, and they confirmed that only Zawahiri was killed in the incident.
Mr. Biden asserted that he had given the “precise hit” on the 71-year-old Egyptian his final clearance after months of planning. His passing will now provide closure for the families of the nearly 3,000 9/11 victims, according to Mr. Biden. Mr. Biden vowed that if you pose a threat to our citizens, the US will find you and get rid of you, adding that “we shall never waver from defending our nation and its people.”
In addition to these violent crimes, Mr. Biden claimed that Zawahiri was also accountable for the 223-death attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, a suicide bombing of the USS Cole naval warship in Aden in October 2000, which killed 17 US soldiers. He was unwavering in his belief that Afghanistan would never again serve as a haven for terrorists. A Taliban representative, on the other hand, said the US operation was blatantly against international norms. They did not, however, mention Zawahiri.
