While terrorism experts praised the CIA’s killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan, they noted that it means the terrorist group has returned to the war-torn country where they allegedly planned the 9/11 attacks.
On Monday evening, President Joe Biden announced Zawahiri was killed and that “justice has been delivered.” The Al-Qaeda leader became the head of the terrorist network following the death of former leader Osama bin Laden in 2011.
