Biden delivered an address from the White House formally announcing the operation on Monday night
President Joe Biden expressed hope Monday that the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri brings “one more measure of closure” to families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
Biden made the comments as he confirmed that a U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan this weekend killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri. “He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens,” Biden said in an address from the White House formally announcing the operation.He said U.S. intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahri to a home in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family. The president approved the operation last week and it was carried out on Sunday.
