WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (NNN-AGENCIES) – The United States killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, leader of al-Qaeda, in a drone strike in Afghanistan, multiple U.S. media reported yesterday.
The White House has not confirmed the death of al-Zawahiri, saying only in a statement that, President Joe Biden will deliver remarks on “a successful counter-terrorism operation” at 7:30 p.m. ET from the White House.
Al-Zawahiri was appointed in Jun, 2011, to succeed Osama bin Laden, as the leader of al-Qaeda, one month after bin Laden was shot and killed by U.S. forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.– NNN-AGENCIES
