Ayman al-Zawahri, who has led al-Qaida since Osama bin Laden's death in 2011, has reportedly been killed in a U.S. military operation.

Nice.

Awesome. Hell, kill him again.

Good riddance.

Good. Zawahri was one of the old guard who no doubt played a roll in actual attacks on America, including 9-11.

A couple takeaways:
1) Shows that the Taliban's claim that they would not tolerate Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan per the terms of the withdrawal agreement, were bullshit. No way does Zawahri feel safe hiding out in a posh neighborhood in Kabul without the taliban's blessing.

2) Fucker was staying in a house owned by Sirajuddin Haqqani. Not that there was any doubt between the Pakistani warlords and the Afghan jihadis, but it's nice to catch them in a direct connection. If we had any balls, Haqqani would be next on the list for getting droned, pakistani complains be damned.

I didn’t know he was still alive.

Hopefully Biden puts on his aviators and is lucid.

So both the #1 and #2 in AL Qaeda were killed under Obama / Biden administrations.

He's only just now aware it even occurred. Same time we were. They're briefing him, now. Working on rehearsing his statement for an hour from now.

Zawahiri has been described as the ideological and theological brains behind Bin Laden.

Now do ISIS

 

[deadon]

Stoke the fires of terror on Americans. Hope it doesn't bite us in the ass. Glad he's dead.

 

[So Fresh]

Now do the other war criminals post 9/11

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

Just in time for the midterms.

AFAIK They never said they will hunt down Al Qaeda members to appease the US, only that they won't allow them to operate & carry out attacks from Afghanistan soil.

Trump gets Covid and gets air flown to the hospital. Biden gets it, again and is out there killing terrorist scum.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Ok, Bomber

 

[Siver!]

Daft question, but is this legal?

I'm not going to lose any sleep over a POS like Zawahiri, but how do they legally murder someone in a foreign country they're not at war with?

 

[pinger]

good, fuck him

How long before we find out it was an aid worker and his kids?
