- President Joe Biden announced Monday that a US drone strike killed Al Qaeda commander Ayman al-Zawahiri in an Afghan capital bunker, adding that "justice had been delivered" to the relatives of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
- Biden said in a solemn televised message that he gave the final approval for the high-precision assault that successfully struck Zawahiri in Afghanistan's capital over the weekend.
- "What we know is that the senior Haqqani Taliban were aware of his presence in Kabul," the Biden official added.
- Some militants questioned the legitimacy of the story that he had been slain, while others believed Zawahiri had attained his desire for "martyrdom."

- It was the first US drone strike inside Afghanistan since American soldiers left last year.

Paid articlePaidQuick 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.
