Biden announces US killing of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
President Biden announced the US successfully targeted al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in Afghanistan, saying in White House remarks that “justice has been delivered.”
Zawahiri was sheltering in a safe house in Kabul, according to a US official, and was killed in "a precise tailored airstrike" using two Hellfire missiles. No American personnel were on the ground in Kabul at the time of the strike.
Zawahiri 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.
