President Biden says the leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was killed in a weekend drone strike in Afghanistan.
The President says the killing demonstrates that terrorists who attack American interests will find no hiding place from the long reach of US intelligence.
Ayman al-Zawahiri had a $25 million CIA bounty on his head, and was one of America’s most wanted terrorists since the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington in 2001.
