President Joe Biden announced from the White House this evening that a U.S. counter-terrorism operation, which he had authorized on July 29, resulted in the targeted killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, in Kabul, Afghanistan. Zawahiri succeeded Osama bin Laden as leader of Al Qaeda following bin Laden’s assassination by U.S. special forces troops in 2011. Biden claimed during a statement issued from the White House that no civilians were killed in the drone strike. ABC News reported afterwards that two Hellfire missiles were fired from the drone and were supposedly so accurate that not even other individuals in the house where Zawahiri was present were killed.
