U.S. strike kills top al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri | USA Today

A U.S. strike in Afghanistan over the weekend killed top al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri, the Associated Press reported Monday.

The White House did not immediately confirm the strike. But President Joe Biden is set to deliver remarks Monday night to announce a successful counterterrorism operation against a "significant" al-Qaida target in Afghanistan.

Over the weekend, the United States conducted "a counterterrorism operation against a significant" al-Qaida target in Afghanistan," an administration official said. "The operation was successful and there were no civilian casualties.”

The announcement comes nearly one year after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, ending America's longest war amid the Taliban's return to power.

  1. Mr. Biden just opened the third front😅😅😅😅 He’s a great American leader. We so like him in Russia🤓 Hi, Taiwan🤣

    1. @Jacob Randall I pay for unlimited electricity, hot and cold water supply, clinning and consierge services in my place 7000 roubles (€140) monthly. The fuel for my car costs 54 roubles (€0.9) per littre. I was in the local department store to choose some TV set for my country house last week. 70″ Samsung TV with 4k resolution costs 90000 roubles now. It was 120000 roubles five months ago🤓

    2. @валерий гольштейн that same TV costs between 32,000 rubles and at most 56,000 rubles (with delivery) in America. the gas is 75 ruble/liter (not bad) where I’m from, but it makes sense for yours to be cheaper considering orc-land has all the oil.

      Good thing Taiwan is moving its chip manufacturing to America so our economy can only go up, meanwhile the west is moving towards greener alternative energies to be independent from Russian gas. No Russian gas means no money for Russia 🙁

      this is not looking good for you sir

    1. I do not agree with anything this president has ever done Trump all the way yes but I cannot be a hypocrite I agree with everything he just said taking this guy out was a great accomplishment

  2. Of course Brandon comes out of his rat hole when there is good news. But when reporters want to talk to him…FJB

  3. LET’S NOT FORGOT THAT THE BIGGER P
    PAYOUTS IN THE MARKET DON’T COME FORM GREAT PERFORMANCES BUT RATHE IT’S GREAT PROMOTIONS STAY INVESTED,DIVERSIFICATION FOR STREAMS OF INCOME IS VERY IMPORTANT

    1. @Melody I think I’m blessed because if not I wouldn’t have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Noelle, I think she is the best broker ever seen

    2. @Bethari Goddess I recently ventured to invest with her making trades on my behalf, she has been of great help, and her tutelage has led me to a greater understanding of profits.

    3. She’s the first rated, inimitable and most satisfactory broker, I have tried many professionals, but I only earned exceptional income trading with Mrs Noelle strategy.

  4. Maybe we should finish building the wall . Leaving the gate open to the retaliation dogs isnt too wise .
