[Al-Qaida leader killed by U.S. forces in Kabul? After nearly a month, Atta spoke again: I have not seen a corpse so far.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced on August 1 that the United States had launched a drone strike in Kabul, the afghan capital, killing al-Qaida leader Ayman Zawahiri. But nearly a month later, the Afghan Taliban say Mr. Zawahiri's body has not yet been found. Mujahid, a spokesman for Atta, said Atta was still investigating the airstrike.
According to the White House, the airstrikes on Zawahiri were carried out at 9:38 p.m. Et ., On July 30. According to U.S. officials, the airstrikes occurred when 71-year-old Zawahiri was hit by two missiles on the balcony of a "safe house" in downtown Kabul. At the time, his family was not present. Atta issued a condemnation at the time, saying the U.S. attack was a clear violation of international norms and the Doha peace agreement.
Zawahiri joined bin Laden's al-Qaida organization in 1998. As the group's "chief strategist," Zawahiri was the top planner of the vast majority of terrorist attacks, including the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and the 9/11 terrorist attacks that shocked the world in 2001. After bin Laden's death, Zawahiri was appointed leader of al-Qaida in June 2011. #USA#Al Qaeda ##阿富汗 #
