Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been killed in a CIA drone strike in Afghanistan, United States President Joe Biden has said.
Al-Zawahiri was killed on Sunday in the biggest blow to the group since its founder Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011.
“Justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more,” Biden said in a special televised address from outside the White House.
Intelligence had located al-Zawahiri’s family in Kabul earlier this year, Biden said, adding that no civilians or members of Al-Zawahiri’s family had been killed in the attack.
An Egyptian surgeon with a $25m reward on his head, al-Zawahiri helped coordinate the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Earlier, US officials speaking on the condition of anonymity told reporters earlier that the CIA carried out a drone attack in the Afghan capital Kabul using two missiles.
Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom reports now on the man who was Al Qaeda’s second-most prominent figure after Osama Bin Laden.

Al Jazeera must be sad one of their founders died LOL
His dead came 10-20 years too late. If he had been killed in the early 2000s or perhaps in 2011 or 2012 it might had a bigger impact. The worst part is that he not only survived the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021) from the beginning to the end without being killed or captured. But he also survived the US drone War in Pakistan (2004-2018) without been killed or captured. Not many of The big Al Qaeda leaders can brag about that.The only upside to his dead is that it might provides a small measure of peace to the victims of 9/11 and their families. But it is a small, symbolic and Pyrrhic victory given the thousands of lives that has been lost and the huge amounts of money and resources that was use to find and kill him, plus the fact that his killing took place nearly a year after the US lost the War in Afghanistan. He lived long enough to witness the US defeat and stand side by side with The Taliban as a victor in The War in Afghanistan (2001-2021). So in a way he won against the US even though he was killed by them in the end. In my opinion They should have killed him and Bin laden at The Battle of Tora Bora in 2001 then they had the chance. It was a big mistake to let them both survive, after which they could boast of having fought against, survived and escaped the most powerful and high-tech war machine in the history of the mankind. It turned them into legends in the terrorist world. Yes the US got him in the end, but not before he had burned his name into the historybooks alongside Bin laden.
may allah gave him jannatul ferdous.

Islam is a kind of strange religion.
Islamic countries (middle eastern) are slavery minded.
These worldwide muslim people (minority graded) became easy target (light weighted) for anti islamic rulers because of islamic countries's slavery attitudes and disunity.
(islamic sheikhs are slaves for costly diets and bodily lusts).
GCC and AGCC countries are purely selfish.
That is the reasons, worldwide Muslim people facing humiliations, molestations, insults, harassing and tortures from the hands of anti islamic rulers.
These stupid (fake) islamic countries killing own Islamic leaders one by one by inducing (encouraging) anti islamic rulers.
UAE, SA and BN (these are fraudulent (anti islamic) countries) visibly encouraging anti Muslim dictators by hugging, embracing and kissing.
The truth are, anti islamic people enjoying the fruits of Muslim countries, while a section of own people starving.
