This is the most significant"get" for the Americans since US Navy Seals killed Osama bin Laden at his Pakistani hideout in 2011.

In recent years he may not have appeared to be an active figure, but has been an ever-present figurehead over a franchised organisation who’s anti-western ambitions have never changed. He was an Egyptian who was jailed in Cairo with other Islamists in the 1980s. He became the brains of Al Qaeda; the guiding figure behind the public face that was Bin Laden.

President Biden said repeatedly that he would not allow Afghanistan to be a safe haven for terrorists.But here's the troubling reality for the Americans. They have admitted that the Haqqani network, a US-designated terrorist group and key element of the Taliban, was protecting Zawahiri in Kabul. Speaking on 31 August 2021, after the last US troops left Afghanistan, Mr Biden said the US would not let up on its fight against terrorism in that country or elsewhere."We just don't need to fight a ground war to do it."

'Justice has been delivered': Al Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri killed by drone strike in AfghanistanAl Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been killed by a US airstrike in Afghanistan, US president Joe Biden has confirmed as he told the world 'justice has been done'. Pakistan just received over $6 Billion in aid after asking U.S. for help. I imagine this is just a coincidence and they didn’t know where Al Zawahari was. Good riddance. I hope MI5 are on high alert, but then again they're only interested in protecting royals, politicians and A Listers.
