Ayman al-Zawahri dutifully served as Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant until a team of Navy SEALs punched his boss' time card for him in 2011.
Since then, Zawahri reigned as the head of the terrorist organization, although decades of constant U.S. military pressure have reduced it to a shadow of its former self.
That is Zawahri ran it until this weekend, as President Joe Biden will announce this evening that a drone strike in Afghanistan recently killed the infamous terror leader.
As USA Today reports:
Biden will speak at 7:30 p.m. ET, according to a last-minute update to the president's schedule, as he remains isolated in the White House battling a rebound case of COVID-19.
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 Biden administration's military withdrawal from Afghanistan, after 20 years of the U.S.-led war and the Taliban's return to power.
According to Politico, Zawahiri was in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital.
One of the people briefed on the operation said the strike in Kabul was led by the CIA.

Oh yeah, this totally makes up for Afghanistan. In a pigs eye.
Now he’s going to brag about one of his minions in the military was able to fly a drone in and clobber him. Way to go guys. Meanwhile he wants to turn loose a Russian arms dealer in trade for a couple of Americans detained in Russia for breaking their laws. You know 160 days is nothing, ask the guys they still have detained from the Jan6 protest. King George, I mean Biden should be in jail along with his son and the rest of the Biden crime family. Put away for good. I can about guess where the first atom bomb Iran puts together because Dozing Joe lets them, is going to land.
Remember when Trump took out Solamani? Trump was trying to start WW3 according to all the Dems and the media. Are we going to hear that now?
TRAINED BY SOVIET COMMUNISTS IN PAKISTAN. THE GUY WHO GOT BIN LADEN COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OUT ON A COFFEE BREAK.
Good work special ops.
About time! Why don’t we fly drones into the terrorist training camps and wipe them out? I wonder how much $$$$ Crack Hunter got from Iran?
So, does he think this will help him in the polls? He will never understand he has bottomed out and nothing is going to help him. Of course he made sure to clearly state he had a part in it! What a fraud and somebody is taking advantage of his serious decline into the world of dementia /Alzheimers. Jill should be charged with elder abuse just to be FLOTUS. They are a wretched family with their lies and corruption. Biden should not be considered any better than Ayman as-Zawahiri
Let us rejoice that he finally gets to face Allah. Never fear, they will have another Al Zawahri waiting in the wings to take his place.
Thought Biden would stop such operations??
It’s good the guy is gone. I don’t think Biden had much to do with it.
