Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri was killed by U.S. intelligence officials while on the balcony of his secure home in Kabul Saturday after months of surveillance on the terrorist.
A senior Biden administration official said the government identified al-Zawahri on "multiple occasions for sustained periods of time on the balcony, where he was ultimately struck" in a precision drone attack. He was the only one killed, President Biden said.
Biden said he "authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all" on July 25.
