On Sunday, US President Joe Biden announced the US has killed the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan.
"From hiding, he co-ordinated al-Qaeda's branches and all around the world, including setting priorities for providing operational guidance and calling for and inspired attacks against US targets."
- Joe Biden, President of the United States
As one of America's most wanted terrorists, Zawahiri was one of the conspirators together with Osama Bin Laden behind the 9/11 attacks.
In 2011, following the death of Bin Laden, the 71-year-old Egyptian doctor took over al-Qaeda.
