US drone strike kills Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
Summary by NewsWall Apr 26 23
- President Joe Biden announced Monday that a US drone strike killed Al Qaeda commander Ayman al-Zawahiri in an Afghan capital bunker, adding that "justice had been delivered" to the relatives of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
- Biden said in a solemn televised message that he gave the final approval for the high-precision assault that successfully struck Zawahiri in Afghanistan's capital over the weekend.
- "What we know is that the senior Haqqani Taliban were aware of his presence in Kabul," the Biden official added.
- Some militants questioned the legitimacy of the story that he had been slain, while others believed Zawahiri had attained his desire for "martyrdom."
