Al-Zawahiri's role in Attacks on USS Cole:
In a speech from the White House, the president said that U.S. intelligence agents had located al-Zawahri in residence in the heart of Kabul, where he was hiding out with his family. The procedure was carried out on Sunday after the president gave his approval last week. According to Biden, Zawahiri was either the planner or a prominent player in the assaults on the USS Cole and the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Taliban Government Response:
After al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was found and killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, US President Joe Biden declared that “justice had been delivered.” Taliban government has also confirmed the U.S. strike in the country, earlier denying the US strike.
