Al Qaeda leader killed. |
President Joe Biden announced today, the CIA has carried out a drone strike and it killed the relusive al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The former Egyptian doctor who was Osama bin Laden's most trusted ally was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan.
World leaders, Congress and the United Nations were notified of the strike.
For the far right and Republicans, they will probably give credit to Washed Up 45 and George W. Bush. They will pivot to something to blame Biden or not mention it at all. To the rest of the world, Biden may have secured a second term. This is what competent leadership is like in America. Biden stated that there were no civilian causalities.
There were no photo ops on grandeur from Biden.
He still has mild symptoms of the coronavirus. But even with that, the president still can get the fucking job done.
The chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, al-Zawahiri was key to helping the 19 men execute their plan to attack the U.S. in 2001.
U.S. intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahri to a home in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family. The president approved the operation last week and it was carried out Sunday.
Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, in operation carried out by U.S. Navy SEALs after a nearly decade-long hunt.
As for Al-Zawahri, Biden said, “He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens.”
“This terrorist leader is no more,” he added.
The operation is a significant counterterrorism win for the Biden administration just 11 months after American troops left the country after a two-decade war.
