Top Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed over the weekend in Afghanistan while hiding out at the home of an Afghan government official and Taliban member, the New York Times reported.
According to reports, President Joe Biden, who was isolated with a rebound infection of COVID-19, authorized the strike against al-Zawahiri. Biden will address the nation at 7:30 p.m. EST Monday evening.
He is among the most pursued terrorists in the world after the slaying of Osama bin Laden, MSNBC reported.
The Times also reported that the operation was not a military one, and instead was conducted through the CIA. The government won't respond to questions about it, however.
Al-Zawahiri was among the top organizers of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Towers, the Washington Post described.
