The US has killed the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri,
in a drone strike in Afghanistan, President Joe Biden has confirmed.

He was killed in a counter-terrorism operation carried out by the CIA in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Sunday.

Mr Biden said Zawahiri had "carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens".

"Now justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more," he added.

Officials said Zawahiri was on the balcony of a safe house when the drone fired two missiles at him.

Other family members were present, but they were unharmed and only Zawahiri was killed, they added.

Mr Biden said he had given the final approval for the "precision strike" on the 71-year-old al-Qaeda leader.

Zawahiri took over al-Qaeda after the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011. He and Bin Laden plotted the 9/11 attacks together and he was one of the US's "most wanted terrorists".

The killing of the al-Qaeda leader would bring closure to families of the victims of the 2001 attacks, Mr Biden said.

Biden on killing of Zawahiri: "Justice has been delivered"



President Biden said "justice has been delivered" after confirming in a White House speech that a US drone strike killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

"He carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens. American service members, American diplomats, and American interests. And since the United States delivered justice to bin Laden 11 years ago, Zawahiri has been a leader of al Qaeda, the leader, from hiding, he coordinated Al Qaeda's branches and all around the world, including setting priorities for providing operational guidance that called for and inspired attacks against US targets," the President said.

    He continued, "Now, justice has been delivered. And this terrorist leader is no more. People around the world no longer need to fear the vicious and determined killer. The United States continues to demonstrate our resolve and our capacity to defend the American people against those who seek to do us harm. You know, we make it clear again tonight 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."

Biden explained the details of the operation, stating that after "relentlessly seeking Zawahiri for years under Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, our intelligence community located Zawahiri earlier this year. He had moved to downtown Kabul to reunite with members of his immediate family."

Biden said after "carefully considering the clear and convincing evidence" of Zawahiri's location, he authorized the "precision strike" that killed him.

"This mission was carefully planned, rigorously minimized the risk of harm to other civilians, and one week ago, after being advised that the conditions were optimal, I gave the final approval to go get him, and the mission was a success," Biden said.

He added: "None of his family members were hurt, and there were no civilian casualties. I'm sharing this news with the American people now after confirming the mission's total success through the painstaking work of our counterterrorism community and key allies and partners. My administration has kept congressional leaders informed as well."

Biden finally proves that he's a tough guy.
He doesn't mess around with terrorists - he takes them out.

[Bobby]

Biden wears the pants - he's no fairy with a tutu.
He hunts them down and he kills them -
just like an old Wild West posse.
Trump never got em.

Biden is a super hero:
