The United States killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiriin a drone strike, President Joe Biden said Monday in a speech from the White House."I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield, once and for all," Biden said.
Zawahiri, who just turned 71 years old, had remained a visible international symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as bin Laden's personal physician.
He and Osama bin Laden blew up the WTC that killed over 3,000 Americans!!!!
President Biden issued a warning to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups around the world, saying the United States "will always do what is necessary" to ensure the safety and security of Americans.
The remarks came as the President announced that a US drone strike killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul, nearly a year after the country pulled out of Afghanistan.
