President Joe Biden will announce Monday that a CIA counterterrorism strike in Afghanistan killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The strike “was successful and there were no civilian casualties,” a senior Biden administration official said earlier, without confirming the identity of the target. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Believe me, it was painful to know that you are in Afghanistan, it is not a country of great wealth, but some people are suffering from the economic embargo. This is a problem, as I don't know where to help, the flight from the country brings many refugees. Are you a refugee? Sometimes the internal poverty is great, don't we have to cry about food? I'm short on time for you, but I feel like you're not resting well, nor is there a stronghold for that. Try to get over your father's death, there's a lot to do online. I don't want to be the asylum, but thanks if you're interested in this dialogue. Because you're kind and you have a good feeling. Please continue to give me some information. I will not be ashamed to find other simple people who offer some message.
That's not the message, have a good night in Afghanistan, please forget about the hunger and malaise in the USA.
Joe Biden is a such liar!
Hey everyone!! Check the sun news ( 11:52. 20 AUG 2020. ) 😆
Weak narration Joe! Inflation is still in the double digits and we are officially in a RECESSION! 🤡
Go Biden!!!!!!!!! Go Biden!!!!!!!
Wow, Mr. President Biden, we are truly impressed with your excellent service of your oath of office and duty to serve and protect America against terrorists threats of foreign leaders. You have our sincere respect, support and appreciation on this:
Justice has been delivered'
Biden, who was kept abreast of the strike against Zawahiri, spoke outdoors Monday from the Blue Room Balcony at the White House.
Zawahiri, Biden said, "was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11, one of the most responsible for the attacks that murdered 2,977 people on American soil. For decades, he was the mastermind of attacks against Americans."
"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," he continued. "The United States continues to demonstrate our resolve and our capacity to defend the American people against those who seek to do us harm. 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."
The President said the precision strike targeting was the result of the "extraordinary persistence and skill" of the nation's intelligence community.
God bless America.
The only country that seems to know how to send drones to a location near you is the US. They are the leader in this type of warfare fo sho. Imagine if Al-Qaida knew how to operate drones 😹. Imagine if we woke up one morning and heard that Biden was taken out by a drone. But there is no way it can happen, I don’t think. He’s got a better chance of dying from old age or whatever. The US is the baddest country in the world when it comes to playing around with drones and other peoples’ lives. It has the weakest leadership, yet best technology. China is learning from the US though. It’s been firing some missiles of its own. But sanctioning one person is pathetic; China can do better that. Let the games continue… and may the best of the best win 🥇
I do not listen to this creature – first sentence after barely wobbling to the stage …..is nothing but SLURRED. Criminals
Good news …but still terrorist Haqqani network Taliban are left they been killed so many innocent people almost 70%percent of Afghanistan not happy with terrorism government 😑

Are we sure this goober actually killed him?
Look everyone who is reading this, can we please all just stop with the elderly geriatric politicians presidents prime ministers and get people who fricken know how to even hold a conversation without shaking or stuttering . I’m so sick of it. I work my backside off to make ends meet, my job is hard tough stressful and that last thing I need in my life is seeing america and U.K. run by absolute incompetent fools!
Good job. You still got 13 of my buddies killed in Afghanistan. Soo… f you.
I don't even understand 1 word from this mouth..
In the meantime Biden is sellingmour strategic oil reserve to China, giving all of our armaments away to Ukraine along with billions of dollars…..
I’d bet my next two paychecks Potato Joe had nothing to do with the planning, execution, approval of the mission and his whole role was reading off the teleprompter. End of quote repeat line.
No the US did 9-11
Do you need multiple times your cash?? I suggest you the
above name who as been my guardian angel with $8000
today in my wallet
I love how obvious Biden makes reading his teleprompter. What a puppet. By the way Biden we have forgotten their memories. Look how much first responders have to fight for money for their cancer treatments. Cancer they got from the World Trade dust/toxins.
Thanks to clonehack 426 he made me to become what i am today with the help of $10,000 thanks you will forever be remembered
What a ridiculous notion to believe the Elite mans privilege is our freedom. WTF wake up already people.
我好怕你噢？！
Never Attack US and our Allies again.
3:08 No Family Members or Innocent people there Got hurt. That's Good.
how many times did joe run for president and fail? now he finally got the title. but he is still failing every one of us. some people make good presidents. joe is not of that caliber. we will continue to degrade as a society till 2024.
Oh brandon, a little too late to make this right.
Joe and Bammy traded the five terrorists now running Afghanistan for Bergdahl the deserter.
ahhahahaha………..Bravo! Mission accomplished after ran away from Afghanistan. Always bundles of lies to their nation.
Why did it take this long?
Biden not only abandoned the people of Afghanistan but also our allies. If you were an ally of US would you join US in helping US counter terrorism? Absolutely not. Biden snuck out of Afghanistan without even telling allies. In his speeches he blames everything on Trump. Biden is following what other democrats tell him to do. Biden is not Mr President. Biden is Mr Puppet.
Don't you mean "despite my direction" there joey?
No he didn't, he's the one talking
A historic failure of America in Afghanistan, this defeat has registered in history as similar to the American defeat in the Vietnam war.
