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.

Good post.
SO you can imagine my reaction last night when I heard an idiot reporter say that all the people who were involved in 9/11 have either been captured or killed.

He had been staying in a “safe house” in Kabul.

Allegedly US Military had surveillance on the house and watched him come and go, then hit him Sunday morning as he stood on the balcony.

There you have it. People know where this turd was for years. Biden needed a boost so allegedly he was taken out.

I say everything with a grain of salt when this regime makes a claim. Mainly because their real leader is the Father of Lies.

I am still not impressed.

I wonder what concession the Biden Regime gave the Taliban Regime in return for allowing the CIA to fly/loiter an armed drone in their airspace? It has to be bad....

Your location would have placed him close to Bin Laden’s hideout. There were numerous reports that he was somewhere in Pakistan’s Baluchistan, farther to the west. The fact that the location of the attack is not noted makes me believe he must have been in Pakistan and the CIA, White House, or both, are covering Pak’s tail. (As I believe it is now without a government.)

I was at a gas station the other day and the pump I was at had remnants of many many “I did that stickers”.

What is sickening is that in spite of that. The cheaters will probably win.

Breaking — Senior Pakistani security officials say Americans did not ask for and neither did they require intel cooperation in the drone strike that killed Ayman Al-Zawahiri.

Officials also say Pakistani airspace was not used for the drone flight.

According to Biden it’s wrong for Saudi Arabia to murder terrorist Kashogi in a foreign country, but it’s okay for Biden to murder terrorist Zawahiri in a foreign country. How does that work?

There were reports a year ago saying he had died of natural causes in Afghanistan.

“I am still mystified by the fact that the Boeing 767 series has the built in capability to be flown by remote control by the US miltary [sic],”

And your proof is what exactly?

Reportedly 2 hellfire R9X missiles were fired into the house.

R9X has no explosion, but destroys the target with 6 blades.

Zawahiri looked like hamburger in a blender.

Libtards scheduled at least 70 protests against Trump when he popped Salami. Where are they now????? Crickets crickets crickets 🦗
I've been asking the same question about the anti nuke movement when Pres "RayGUN" was in office. Remember the No Nukes concerts in the 80's and all the demonstrations against nuclear proliferation? Ever since the madmen in Iraq and N Korea got nukes of their own those movements.... silently...faded...away..

I can’t prove it, but I do suspect the US knew of al-Zawahiri’s location in Afghanistan for some time now, and chose to take him out just recently, to get maximum press coverage just before these important primary elections today. As if that would sway independents or undecideds to vote Dem, because.... of “Commander Biden.”

The reports I heard back then were that he was in the tribal areas along the northern Pakistan and Afghanistan border. If you are referring to the current attack, that was on a balcony in a building in Kabul and that has been noted in today’s news reports.

There was and is one such movement, or rather, group...it is called Global Zero. Super duper deep cover CIA agent Valerie Plame of Niger Uranium fame belonged to it, while her late husband used Hillary Clinton’s state department to ram through approval and regs in various mining operations around the world, probably uranium or rare earth’s mines.
