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.

ALLAH BE PRAISED! That was one Islamo-Fascist who was desperately in need of being sent to meet his seventy and two raisins. I’d be proud to hang that scalp from my lodge pole.

Baier, Cavuto make me sick. You can just hear their bias against Trump in all their broadcasts.

Not impressed. The Zawahiri has to be a super old fart by now.

It really is a big deal. Al-Zawahiri was the last of the Al-Qaeda big shots. The US has wanted him dead since 9/11 and it is good they finally got him. I don’t think it helps Biden long term because this is part of a long term effort. Remember Biden was against killing Bin Laden, then Obama ordered the go ahead.

Makes Bush look real bad, though, he couldn’t get either one.

I thought we killed him years ago.

Had to keep him on ice for the election.

Spill the Seal Team, or the Rangers that did it.

Then prosecute them for War Crimes.

“They shot an unarmed man”

Give it a couple of days . . .

Well, knocking him off would stop his ‘methane’, then.

It’s a no brainer for the GOPe, lose in November and blame Trump, and get Romney or Cheney to be the Nominee for 2024. It’s a small price to pay.

This was the work of a long term intelligence effort over several administrations to kill the perpetrators of 9/11. Eventually there was success through a national effort. Obama and Biden had benefit of what was learned over years.

I’m skeptical. I wish I weren’t, but I am.

I don’t trust the Bidophiles any farther than I can throw Stacey Abrams.

There are probably about 80 million Americans today who weren't even alive on 9/11.

Offing this I-man dude today is like executing an 85 year-old mutant for murdering a family in the 1970s.

“ I thought we killed him years ago.”

Yes. Isn’t this the third or fourth time we’ve blown him up?
