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.

"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.

It's like the Mossad assassinating a Nazi in the '70s. Yeah. It's been 25 years. But we do not forget. Justice will be delivered.
The media barely mentioned it, and only in a negative light. They will scream this from the rooftops.
I thought these Islamists were non-governmental organizations. How can they claim no civilian casualties?
If that's the case, 0baᵐa The Transformer probably wanted the guys protection revoked.
Fair enough. I appreciate your question. The main reason is to prevent a hard disappointment in November that comes from increased expectations. Sort of like what happened in Nov 2008 when everyone here believed LS that McCain was going to win.
There are a lot of factors out there besides inflation. The country has changed. What worked in politics in 1994 or even 2010 will not work any more. Too many on our side are expecting a 1994-sized red wave, and it ain't going to happen. We want to simply keep the expectations realistic.
Yes, we will win the House. But beyond that, it is a lot closer than many on our side are willing to admit.
You are kinda amusing in believing this is anymore then a 1 day story nobody cares about this with inflation at 9 percent and an economy in recession. In addition as Catherine Herridge pointed out he was caught near Kabul meaning Al Qeada is now operating again in Afghanistan and this guy more then likely ran out of his usefulness or was in such poor health it no longer served them to keep him alive.
It’s based on experience and what we know about the GOPe.
Their plan is to lose the midterms, blame it on Trump, and get their person nominated for 2024. They can’t afford to have a victory that Trump gets credit for. So you can already see how they are sabotaging it, but really not even trying. There is no message, no motivation, other than from the Trump side, but that alone may not be enough.
So who takes his place?
No one believed McCain was going to win in 2008. The fact McCain was actually leading after Labor Day and submarined his own campaign by the end of the month kinda kept everything in perspective.
Keep an eye on Indeed.com.
You do realize if Trump tells people not to show up in 2024 their chosen candidate has literally no chance of even carrying the likes of Indiana
“ So who takes his place?”

Well, Pelosi is kind of nearby………
Even if the CIA took him out, who would believe it given the Agency’s reputation?
But you watch what happens, suddenly all of the candidates will start sounding like Trump, I would dare say, even if someone like Liz Cheney were the nominee, she would ever appear to agree with Trump on the issues. So what then? I saw this in 2012, most of us held our noses and voted for Romney, the GOPe's attitude is, "You know you're never going to vote for a Rat anyway, what are you going to do? We OWN you!"
Or they pulled him out of a meat locker and shot the corpse.
Z’s relationship with Bin Laden goes back to Afghanistan approximately thirty years ago. Z had to flee Egypt and must have been 35=40 at that time.
He’s got to be almost as old as dirt by now - and reported many times in the past very ill and either dead or dying. I suspect Biden needs his poll numbers to change and this would give him a little ping.. But I don’t see it as a big deal - the guy was #two man under Ben Laden....doubtful he ran anything at his age and health.

He was 70. If that’s super old, so are a lot of people here.
