    Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed over the weekend in a drone strike in a U.S. counterterrorism operation, President Biden announced Monday night.

    This troubles me. We fight terrorism against us by committing terrorism? How can this work?

    How? Not just are countries/military/ authorized and unauthorized ready to slaughter innocents every day, as is happening in many places,
    but corporations, worldwide humongous rich entities, think nothing of wiping out a country/ a people/ for profit whenever it suits them and they can, and have, gotten away with it, including the usa ever since the usa wiped out the original peoples living here.

    Thats like spy vs spy, only terrorist against terrorist. No telling who the poor schmuck was they just cut up with that missle. Look at this one celebrating the horrible torture and death of Gadaffi. Ghouls.

    Maybe that's why the 'dead' is in quotes. Odd that they'd report it as a fact, though.

    There were several reports over the years of Osama Bin Laden either having died or having been killed in some way; with the final one being when Obama claimed that the SEALS had killed him, and then dumped his body at sea.
    There was no actual proof of him being killed at that time, and this was the SEAL team that was afterwards all killed in a helicopter crash under suspicious circumstances.

    So, this could be that they thought this Al-Qaeda boss had died in 2020, and didn’t, but was just now killed by the drone, or it could be that he actually already died, and Biden is claiming credit for killing him, taking a page out of Obama’s playbook.
