WASHINGTON — An American drone strike killed Ayman al-Zawahri, a key plotter of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks who took over as the leader of Al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden’s death, at an urban safe house in Afghanistan, President Biden announced on Monday night.
The early-morning strike in the heart of downtown Kabul over the weekend capped a 21-year manhunt for an Egyptian radical who more than anyone besides Bin Laden was deemed responsible for the deadliest foreign attack on the United States in modern times and never gave up targeting Americans.
“Now justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more,” Mr. 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.”

Do we really have the tight to take out bad guys anywhere any time?
The USA is a rogue nation.
It’s always the same top leader, and we need to take their word for it.
The Taliban was in on the hit. Fugitaboutit.
So number one is gone. Now number two gets a promotion. Meet the new boss…
When the targets are the planners of the terror attack that killed 3,000+ Americans, yes.
Sarcasm?
My guess is the Taliban got much $$$$$ to sanction the hit.
I would have preferred that they level the entire house to pebbles. That would make the associates who are being trained fearful of being around him.
I am not believing anything FJB/The Regime says these days. Suspicious timing among other things.
Joe Biden Delivers a Jumbled Word Salad after Claiming, Under Extremely Suspect Circumstances, the U.S Killed Ayman Al Zawahiri
Or... tipped the CIA off as to his whereabouts in exchange for economic aid.
Yeah, sure, where’s the proof?
Both could be true.
Well seeing that Quisling Joe Biden is the number one threat to the American people, maybe he should take himself out (and also the Gaystapo at the FBI). /spit
As much as we hate most of the policies of Obama and Biden, we should support them when they authorize the destruction of these terrorists. Let’s not become so blind sided that we don’t recognize the occasional good that our opposition does. Let’s not become like the left and cancel every thing we don’t understand. Sept 11th happened and 3000 innocent people were killed by these demonic terrorists!
Yes I did. Also when Hillary took out Kaddafi. etc
Being against war crimes shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Or, his severe asthma killed him back in 2020.

I couldn’t agree more. Killing a terrorist is always a good thing.
How is killing a terrorist a “war crime?” Al-Zawahiri was al-Qaeda, not a state actor.
