The Assassination of Ayman al-Zawahiri: CIA Drone Kills al-Qaeda Leader at Safe House in Kabul

President Biden claimed Monday a CIA drone strike killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul, Afghanistan. Trained as a surgeon in Egypt, where he was born into a prominent family, al-Zawahiri was a key figure in the jihadist movement since the 1980s. The U.S. has long accused al-Zawahiri of being a key 9/11 plotter along with Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in 2011. The Taliban has since criticized the attack, saying the drone strike was a violation of international principles." For more, we're joined by Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary and national security expert Karen Greenberg, who say the Taliban's apparent sheltering of al-Zawahiri in a prominent Kabul neighborhood was shocking. This is a strike inside the heart of Kabul in an area that is very, very well known to the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies," says Sarwary, whose sources report at least 12 Arab nationals were killed in the strike despite Biden announcing there were no civilian casualties.
