Assassination of Al Qaeda leader Biden from the White House: Justice was served

The United States has killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in Afghanistan. The news was confirmed by US President Joe Biden on Monday in a speech from the White House.

"I authorized a precision strike that would remove it from the battlefield, once and for all," Biden said. "Now justice has been served and this terrorist leader is no more," the president said.

Zawahiri, who just turned 71, had remained a symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as Bin Laden's personal physician.

Zawahiri was taking refuge in central Kabul to be reunited with his family, Biden said, and was killed in what a senior administration official described as "a well-timed airstrike."

The drone strike, carried out at 9:48 p.m. local time on Saturday, was authorized by Biden after weeks of meetings with his cabinet and top advisers.

Confirmation of the attack came hours after Taliban rulers in Kabul said a missile strike on Sunday against a residential compound in the Afghan capital was carried out by a US drone.

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns this attack under any pretext," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, using the official name for the Taliban government.

He denounced the attack as a "blatant violation of international principles and the Doha agreement", referring to the 2020 agreement his group signed with the US, which led to the withdrawal of all US and allied troops from Afghanistan. last August, after almost 20 years of fighting the Taliban.

The Islamist insurgent group took control of Afghanistan on August 15 after US-led foreign troops withdrew and the Western-backed government in Kabul and its security forces crumbled in the face of a Taliban onslaught.

The US-led military coalition invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 and toppled the then-Taliban government in Kabul to punish it for harboring the al-Qaeda terrorist network. Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri escaped the international military operation. US special forces later found and killed bin Laden deep inside neighboring Pakistan in May 2011.
