Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that US successfully targeted and killed al Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a drone strike in Afghanistan. (Read More Here).
Barack Obama has hailed Joe Biden after the successful killing of Ayman. He wrote:
“More than 20 years after 9/11, one of the masterminds of that terrorist attack and Osama bin Laden’s successor as the leader of al-Qaeda – Ayman al-Zawahiri – has finally been brought to justice.
“It’s a tribute to President Biden’s leadership, to the members of the intelligence community who have been working for decades for this moment, and to the counterterrorism professionals who were able to take al-Zawahiri out without a single civilian casualty.
“Zawahiri, who just turned 71 years old, had remained a visible international symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as bin Laden’s personal physician.
“Tonight’s news is also proof that it’s possible to root out terrorism without being at war in Afghanistan. And I hope it provides a small measure of peace to the 9/11 families and everyone else who has suffered at the hands of al-Qaeda.”
Information reads: “Ayman al-Zawahiri, an emir (leader) of al-Qaeda, was recently assassinated in an airstrike by the United States of America on Sunday.
US President Joe Biden oversaw the decision to launch the airstrike. Zawahiri was known for committing numerous acts of terrorism and was formerly thought to be close to Osama Bin Laden.”
