US kills Al Qaeda leader – The leader of the terrorist organization Al Qaeda was killed last weekend by a US drone strike in Afghanistan. President Joe Biden of the United States confirmed this during a speech at the White House. It concerns Ayman Al Zawahiri, who, together with Osama Bin Laden, was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. He also claimed responsibility for the London bombing in 2005.

“For decades, he was the mastermind behind attacks on Americans,” Biden said in his live broadcast speech. “But this terrorist leader is no more.” Al Zawahiri, a doctor and surgeon from Egypt, has led Al Qaeda since U.S. commandos killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011.

Al Zawahiri was also seen as the mastermind behind the attacks of September 11, 2001, in which nearly three thousand people were killed. Since those attacks on American soil, he was on the run.

U.S. prosecutors accused Al Zawahiri not only of involvement in the September 11, 2001 attacks, but also of involvement in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. Al Zawahiri also claimed responsibility for the 2005 London public transport bombing, which killed 52 people.

Al Zawahiri was often presumed dead

In recent years, there have been many rumors that Al Zawahiri is dead, but they turned out to be untrue. There has also been a story for a long time that Al Zawahiri was in poor health.

According to Biden, the American intelligence services tracked down Al Zawahiri earlier this year. “I have given permission for a precision attack that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all.”

According to the American president, there were no civilian casualties in that counterterrorism operation. It would have been an attack with a drone by the American intelligence service CIA in the Afghan capital Kabul.

Criticism of Afghanistan for providing shelter

In a statement, a spokesman for the Taliban government in Afghanistan confirmed that an attack in Kabul has taken place. He did not say whether people were killed. However, the spokesman condemned the attack. He spoke of a violation of international principles.

According to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Taliban have “grossly” violated the 2020 Doha agreement by providing shelter and protection to Al Zawahiri. In that Doha agreement, the Taliban promised, among other things, that they would tackle terror groups that threaten the security of the United States, such as Al Qaeda, in Afghanistan.

Biden assured in his speech that the U.S. will never allow Afghanistan to once again become a safe haven for terrorists.
