American intelligence located reclusive al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri earlier this year in Afghanistan after he moved from a hideout in Pakistan to a Taliban-supported safe house in a posh locality in downtown Kabul.
US President Joe Biden announced on Monday that Zawahiri, who had assumed the leadership of al-Qaeda after founder Osama bin Laden was eliminated in 2011, was killed in a CIA drone strike on Saturday at a house where he had reunited with his family.
“Justice has been delivered and this terrorist is no more,” Biden declared.
The 71-year-old Egyptian surgeon, who had a $25 million bounty on his head, was Laden’s second-in-command when the September 11, 2001, attacks took place. He remained a visible international symbol of the terror group 11 years after the US Navy SEALs killed Laden in a raid on his hideout Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011.
