Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US airstrike in Afghanistan. Al-Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden co-planned the 9/11 attacks on America. Osama bin Laden was killed by US Navy Seals in an operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, 2011. Zawahiri became the leader of al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed in a US action.
US President Joe Biden said on Monday that Zawahiri was killed in a CIA drone strike on Saturday evening in Kabul. Zawahiri was hiding with his family in a house in Kabul.
He first worked under bin Laden’s umbrella and later took over the reins of al-Qaeda as his successor. Zawahiri was killed in 2011, nearly 11 years after bin Laden was killed.
Biden said in an address at the White House on Monday evening, “It was I who gave permission for that attack so that it could be put to an end forever.”
According to officials, Zawahiri was in the balcony of a house when two missiles were fired at him from the drone. The rest of his family members were also present there, but they are not hurt, only Zawahiri is killed.
