- In an evening address from the White House, President Obama stated that US intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahri to a residence in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family.
- According to a senior intelligence official, the residence Al-Zawahri was in when he was killed was owned by a major adviser to senior Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani.

Quick Glance: Commentary: The US assassination of Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri raises numerous questions
- The presence of terrorist organizations within Afghanistan is a violation of the Doha Accord, leave alone the threat posed by their apparent growth.
- The report also confirmed that Zawahiri was living and communicating freely in Afghanistan: "Zawahiri's apparent increased comfort and ability to communicate has coincided with the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and the consolidation of power of key Al-Qaeda allies within their de facto administration."
- It was the first US drone strike inside Afghanistan since American soldiers left last year.

Quick Glance: The enigma of Afghanistan: Why was Al Qaeda's commander in Kabul?
- The drone attack that killed Al Qaeda's commander in Afghanistan's capital exposed a chasm between the US and the Taliban.
- Indeed, US officials claim that by harboring Al Qaeda commanders, the Taliban has violated the Doha deal, which was brokered by then-President Donald Trump in 2020 and accepted by Vice President Joe Biden.
- To the Taliban, receiving Al Qaeda's head "is not such a strange thing."
- "Think about the hosting the Taliban were trying to do there," Mr. Smith suggests.
