The United States conducted a "successful" counterterrorism operation against a "significant" Al Qaeda target Ayman Al Zawahiri in Afghanistan over the weekend, a senior administration official told Fox News.

President Biden on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. E.T. is expected to address the nation from the White House on the operation.

"Over the weekend, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation against a significant Al Qaeda target in Afghanistan," the senior administration official told Fox News Monday. "The operation was successful and there were no civilian casualties."

Two intelligence sources tell Fox News Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al Zawahiri was killed in the CIA drone strike.

We gott’m but sacrificed all our work in Afghanistan to do it.

Unless I see pictures, I doubt it.

Ten bucks says this happened months — if not years — ago.

Either that, or the dude just died of natural causes.

[GRRRRR]

Sure…

Wagging the dawg much PedoPeter?

[Travis McGee]

Does this mean we won in Afghanistan?

[nwrep]

There goes the red wave. Dems may now win the House also.

[Newbomb Turk]

Can’t wait to hear bumble F*** Joe Biden pontificate on this subject. Evening, is that 2:30 in the afternoon presidential time ?

[goodnesswins]

That's our elite's idea of a clever feint: invade, stay for 20 years and get a few thousand of our own troops killed and tens of thousands of locals, bugger out in a humiliating disaster, just to lure 1 guy back and kill him.

Genius!/s

Baloney. I’ll bet most American voters have no idea who the hell Ayman Al Zawahiri is.

“The I-Man was killed in a CIA operation? I thought Don Imus died a few years ago.”

Interesting timing ....

Hey China ... look how TOUGH we are! What was that about messing around and getting BURNED?? You mess with us and you’ll be burnt toast like Zawahiri ....and while I’m still semi-coherent, don’t you DARE shoot down Mz. Nanzi while she’s tying one on ... I mean visiting Taiwan!

That’ll teach Ayman Al Zawahiri to not give the “big guy” his 10% cut off the sales of US equipment left behind.

Or he was no longer serving the Taliban’s purposes.

“Unless I see pictures, I doubt it.”

My sentiments exactly. We didn’t nail this bastard with a strong, determined Pres/admin/military, but we’re expected to believe that “Sniffy” took him out?

[Salty Longshanks]

“Or he was no longer serving the Taliban’s purposes.”

Perhaps, he is/was “transitioning”. /sarc

We gott’m but sacrificed all our work in Afghanistan to do it.
