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.

Baier, Cavuto make me sick. You can just hear their bias against Trump in all their broadcasts.
You have a problem with "fair and balanced? Not to worry they'll trot Lindsey Graham out for their idea of "balance".

Just like there's no mention of 2020 election fraud, there are no Trump sneers or smears that aren't approved (maybe even encouraged) by the main office of Fox News Corp.

Unless I can see a dead body, have it examined by impartial forensic scientists, and then have a complete DNA breakdown...I won’t believe it...

Too convenient political timing......

This guy goes all the way back to the assassination of Sadat. I’ve suspected for years that the only reason he’s been consuming oxygen (if he has) is because we turned him. Possibly not, possibly his usefulness was at an end, and possibly the whole thing is fake. At this point I believe nothing I read in the U.S. media anyway.

As usual, it’s only a big deal if ‘your side’ did something. If the other side did it, ain’t nothing. Goes both ways, left and right

Bull Merd. No one cares. NO ONE. We do care about INFLATION, Energy prices, the latest Demoncrat and GOPeahen tax hikes (yes, on you!) and the insane culture assaults that are directed squarely on Christians, Jews and Patriots. Sorry, but the death of one Muslim Thug does not erase the #JihadJunta reality from the world. We are still PO’ed beyond belief!

Which “Joe” will deliver the Teleprompter Tirade? Also, people will be PO’ed that “Joe” and the network pundits are interrupting Jeopardy.

I thought we killed him years ago.

AQ and ISIS bigshots are like cats with up to 9 lives. So many of them are killed by a drone or missile or bomb strike only to be killed again later by yet another drone, plane or missile strike. Quite a gimmick. Maybe they need to come up with real verifiable method of identifying smoking piles of bones thousands of miles away in some primitive rock pile.

We will see if he shows up in a video-“ NYA NYA, YA MISSED ME!”
OR, they new where he was for a while, and waited for the right political moment to pop him.

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

Do you get off to posting doom and gloom stuff? Does it make you feel good? Do you enjoy the thought of demoralizing people? Are you trying to suppress voter turnout?

Just curious about the motives or intended contributions of the gloom and doom crowd.
