Washington Aug 2: An American drone strike killed Ayman al-Zawahri, who took over as the leader of Al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden’s death, at an urban safe house in Afghanistan, US President Joe Biden announced on Monday night.
Quoting the US President, a report by NYT said the Al-Qaeda leader was killed in an early-morning strike in Kabul.
“Now justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more,” Biden said in a seven-minute nationally televised address from the White House.
“We make it clear again tonight,” he added, “that no matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out.”
