One of the key masterminds behind the 9/11 attacks was killed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan, according to the White House.
Ayman al-Zawarhi, the Egyptian militant who assumed leadership of the Al Qaeda terror group after the death of Osama Bin Laden, was killed in a drone-strike over the weekend, President Joe Biden said in a primetime announcement to the nation.
“On Saturday, at my direction, the United States successfully concluded an air strike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed the Emir of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawarhi,” Biden said. “He was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11.”
Biden said: “Now, justice has been delivered. And this terrorist leader is no more.”
