Pretty big deal. Al Queda hasn’t been that strong for some time, but this guy was close to Bin Laden from the very beginning.

Yup, supposedly a good operation, though we don’t have all the details yet. Biden should announce in his upcoming speech.
This is really good news.

By all accounts, dude must have gotten sloppy after the US pulled out of Afghanistan. Either that or the Taliban literally sold him out for the $25 mill reward.
Zawahri was killed by a CIA Reaper drone that fired a pair of R9X modified Hellfire missiles, which is a BLADED PRECISION WEAPON that causes very limited collateral damage. The missile broke the balcony windows but the structure itself remained intact.
His death was confirmed by aerial assets and a CIA ground team.

The ninja bomb. Apparently a projectile that doesn’t detonate - blades/spikes come out of it on impact.
Badass.
