This is weird. Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was always hiding in the same Afghanistan-Pakistan area where Osama Bin Laden was hiding out, was very old ten years ago in 2012 when he established the Libyan branch of al-Qaeda. [SEE CTH Archives] This guy is ancient by now.
Ayman al-Zawahiri was #2 to Bin Laden and elevated to #1 after his death. Ayman has a younger brother named Mohammed al-Zawahiri who was the Muslim Brotherhood organizer of the uprising in Egypt, and very likely the person who helped coordinate the 9/11/2012 protest on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that happened on the same day as the attack in Benghazi.
According to media reporting, the CIA is claiming to have killed Ayman al-Zawahiri last weekend and Joe Biden is going to give a congratulatory speech about it tonight at 7:30pm ET. Something about this is odd, he was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan? Ayman al-Zawahiri was seriously old if he was still actually alive.
WASHINGTON DC – The United States killed Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri in a drone strike over the weekend, two people briefed on the operation told POLITICO.
In a statement to reporters, a senior administration official said “over the weekend, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation against a significant Al Qaeda target in Afghanistan. The operation was successful and there were no civilian casualties.”
One of the people briefed on the operation said the strike in Kabul was led by the CIA. President Joe Biden plans to give a speech about “on a successful counterterrorism mission” at 7:30 p.m. (read more)
If, and that’s a big stretch for me at this point, if the story is correct…. then the Taliban wanted to get rid of Zawahiri due to some kind of power conflict. No way Zawahiri travels to Kabul (if he was really alive) and then gets picked-off by the CIA. Was he going there for medical treatment or was in an old folk’s home for retired terrorists?
The Wiki age on this guy is nonsense. He was way older than 71.
Here is a picture of Ayman (with Bin Laden) long before 9/11/01.
Here is the most recent picture of Ayman, attributed to 2021.
Something is fishy about this.
On the left is Ayman and Osama in Afghanistan (late ’90’s?), on the right is Ayman’s brother in Egypt (2012).
I don’t even care about Al Queda anymore. They are nowhere near as dangerous to America as the DNC.
Or the FBI, or the CIA, or the NSA.
All subsidiaries of the DNC.
Since the CIA funded them from the jump, they are one in the same. Goes without saying ISIS too. I mean you’d think those cats would have AKs and yet they sport M4s and M16s. No coincidence that.
Yeah, you can pretty much name every US federal agency in existence, at this point. I trust none of them.
Or the Media
Administration will do anything for a win to offset really screwing up the economy.
Yep. This is all about bringing Biden’s poll numbers back up before the mid terms. Unfortunately, some will fall for it.
Don’t forget the Republicans.
Perhaps seen as more effective than First Cat pictures?
Yawn.
No one cares about this with all the other chaos and calamities they have caused.I need not list them because we all know.Just like when barry was in office with the we got osama bin laden.we will really never know.These hyenas are desperate,so lets throw the rabble /peons/deplorables a bone and see if they ll cheer.Sorry ,no can do.A classic example of trying to save their carcasses from the growing numbers that look at their destruction of our nation and our people.It is always darkest before the dawn.I truly believe we will prevail if we stay focused and are not distracted at these little trivialities.We the people will prevail.
All the intrigue aside, I hope that al zawahiri will rest in pieces.
But Trump turning Soleimani into Pico de Gallo was a much bigger deal 🙂
At least we had evidence. With Brandon, nothing but words
And not even his own words.
Damn he was like in his 60s when GW was in office. So he has to be in his 80s. .
Good luck to whomever finds the read age.
Also my first response; total BS story to prop up Brandon. This dude died of old age.
They drone-striked the cemetery. Hey that counts…. right?
Like dead voters count?
I’m suspecting that also. He was in Kabul which means the taliban knew. I think he was sacriced for some kind of CIA deal to prop up FJB. Pieces aren’t fitting here.
Covid Jab ???
Yawn, non event. But the corporate media will be praising the JoeBama administration for their great success.
Not quite “Bond….James Bond.”
Meanwhile Old Joe does not know what planet his is on are much less who the heck this guy is.
Is Biden really alive? Who knows? It will be interesting to see if he blinks during the speech tonight..
LOL, my feelings too.
Think it’s a body double? Hillary definitely used a body double, remember the slab o beef incident? Maybe Biden already took a dirt nap like Di Fi. Anyone seen Di Fi in person lately? She’s definitely on ice, like they had RGB before someone forgot to pay the power bill. Never let a crisis or a corpse go to waste.
Zawahiri’s death would have been much worse had he not been fully vaxxed and boosted.
Hahaha, Treepers on fire tonight!
A victim of a mostly peaceful assassination.
Ha ha. Does anyone really think Hollywood is stirring over the ‘movie rights’ to this mission impossible ?
I wonder which enemy of Ayman al-Zawahiri, which is probably also an enemy of the USA, paid FJB $10’s of millions if not more to ‘take care of their little problem’ in that shit-hole corner of the world?
Brandon just looking for a “quick hit”.
I am not a betting person but, I am willing to wager this “address ” was pre-recorded.
Most likely like this whole event.
“Look how good he healing during his covid”
That’s a super solid theory you got there!
Pre-recorded and edited with God only knows how many takes.
Don’t worry, he will get Covid again. And again. Do it for the sympathy, and to duck the press.
You think that’s what they do with him every weekend? Usher him off to a sound studio somewhere to hopefully get a couple useful lines out of him before he doses off, thinking that he doesn’t have long for this world. They should have enough to get his image through the midterms by now, which I assume was their plan from the beginning. Kamala hasn’t quite worked out like they hoped though, with her fondness of the wacky weed greater than that of her work ethic. Unless its on her knees.
On another note, I’ve heard they’ve come up with a plan to get Bozo’s boat out of dry dock in Europe without taking the bridge down, and it’s brilliant.
They’re going to send Kamala hoho, overseas with a giant straw and have her suck the tide down low enough to get the darned diesel chugging behemoth under the damn bridge. Skills baby, put them to use.
This won’t be the lone feather in your cap either Brandon. No one believes a word you say – and you are 100% irrelevant.
Ridiculous baloney! I don’t give two figs about foreign terrorists!
I am very concerned about the terrorists that are in charge of our federal government, and the trampling on MY Constitutional Rights (and yours, too), the inflation, voter fraud and the cheating and lying that is going on in DC (spending us into oblivion, giving our money away), their money laundering and corruption, and hiring more IRS agents – to collect what?
What are they going to steal from us after they’ve already taken everything? I care about the gun grab; trying to remove our weapons from us. I care about them destroying our food supply, our water supply and our lives. I care that the people who were supposedly elected to represent us are nothing but common criminals and grifters who don’t even pretend to try to do what’s best for our country and the citizens of this country.
I care that the corrupt criminals have extended an open invitation to every lawless crook in the world to just walk in on our southern border and the federal government will give them an id, voting rights, free passage anywhere in our country.
I don’t give a rats behind about their supposed terrorist. It’s just another puppet show to try and show a “win” when everyone knows what is really going on.
They can go pound sand. I hate those bastards.
Tell it, Joyce!
Joyce, Your post reminds me of the guy at the state fair trying to hit the pad with the sledgehammer in an attempt to ring the bell. You didn’t just “ring the bell,” you blew its top off. Perfect Post!
Biden Inc. are going to have a lot of success stories (lies) between now and November.
All the networks are cutting in for the attempted resurrection of Dopey Joe on the world stage.
The world laughs.
The world CONTINUES to laugh.
Its neverending.
this is an attempt to put lipstick on the pig.
Try as they might, nothing can resurrect FJB’s presidency.
They dont have to put lipstick on the pig.
Kamala is still capable of applying it herself.
Could we be at that point in the plot where- like those incredulous everyday British folks – as depicted in ‘V for Vendetta’ – watch the official telly newspeak, knowing just how utterly phony it all is “BOLLOCKS!” .. to state, without fear – “Can you believe this Shite??”.
Are we there yet?
lol.. I’m with you Sundance.. I call bullshyt on the drone strike death, I’m thinking natural causes if at all..
He would have been in Kabul to pow wow with the taliban. I think he was sacrificed from intel we likely got from the taliban. Something smells off with this
We didn’t kill Bin Laden and likely not this guy either.
The highest probability is that the psychopaths running this criminal enterprise called ‘government’ decided that it might help their desperate and delusional efforts to prop up the clown biden if they announce a ‘success’. Now the vile propagandist in their ‘media’ will have something new to lie about..
Bottom line is it truly will not matter because for the most part not even the brain dead lunatics who support nasty old biden will give a damn about this non event.
Next…..?
I agree with you about Bin Laden (as well as the rest of your post). What I always wonder is how the Navy Seal who claimed to be the one to take out Bin Laden has been able to live with that lie. I think he even wrote a book detailing the mission and the killing too.
It is only a coincidence of course that this alleged drone strike occurred shortly after the MSM had announced the beginning of the “Great Biden comeback.” Whether this announced assassination is true or not, it has succeeded in its main mission.
The squishy, manipulative FNC news host, Brett Baier proclaimed that Biden has had 2 good weeks with this strike today and the Manchin sell out Bills. He is either ignoring or forgotten the reality in the lives of present Americans.
It is highly likely that this “Baghdad Bob” style attempt to change Biden’s disapproval ratings from low to great President will backfire terribly when the Climate Doom and other economically ruinous policies are fully implemented. Meanwhile, the gullible that voted for him are swallowing the putrid coordinated spin as usual.
I suspect that the half-life of that ratings boost is going to be much less than the typical length of time that he can remain coherent these days.
They underestimate how red pilled the public has become.
Alzoomba killed while eating his applesauce and the intrepid pigloxi braves the Asian bully xi. All coordinated to make the demonicrats look big and strong. Just in time for elections in just over 3 months. How much you want to bet xi is in on this to help demonicrats?
I can’t watch this clown! Will be interesting what his audience is tonight.
I’ll wait to see the appropriate posts mocking Biden on Youtube.
So I’m sure the See Eye Eh had visual confirmation that the target was in-fact Zawahiri. Wonder if we’ll see a picture from the drone – or perhaps the confirmation picture they used.
Yea…. me neither.
Just another installment in the endless campaign of distraction.
.
Hahahaha! So this is what our recent payment to Taliban was for. Take out an old codger and give the Democrats something to have OBiden make a speech about for their desperate fool followers, claim that they did good in the middle of their creating nothing but disasters.
.
Just another indicator that Barry is still running things from the shadows. How many drone strikes did he openly authorize back in his day? A bagillion+1.
Remember, this claim is made by the same government that also said “just 15 days to flatten the curve”
Relishing and still living in the times of their great Messiah Hussein Obama. Whatever it takes to get this sick old geezer past the midterms, even by making up stories of he and CornPop taking on Al-Qaeda.
Didn’t the Military under Trump castrate most of these terrorist rats inside of 6 weeks?
This guy probably died of natural causes.
The CIA got wind of it and took credit so Biden could have a moment of self congratulatory heroics and award himself the Medal of Freedom.
Inside 3 weeks.
I thought the U.S. was finished with Afghanistan? Why did we lose 14 Marines during the bug-out if we left the CIA there to kill al-Zawahiri?
Something smells fishy and it aint a little girls hair.
The Biden Administration needs a win and they pull this out of their bag of tricks?
What’s the game, the O’biden regime hates this country more than Al Qaeda. Pelosi is a fascist. Now Pelosi is picking a fight with the CCP, and the CIA is drone striking this guy. They are trying to message that they aren’t as bad as the CCP & Al Qaeda.
That and 50 bucks will get you 10’s and 10’s of clicks almost everywhere.
I’d rather see more of the black market US weapons shipped out of Ukraine get blown up.
PedoJoe and the puppets who control him actually think using the Obama playbook is going to help? Hardly likely. But old Joe will stand in front of his gigantic teleprompter and read off the words Obama and the CIA wrote for him to say.
LIES! They know it…they know we know it. And, they don’t care.
I honestly might question if these corrupt bastards say that the earth is round.
According to the recently updated Wikipedia definition…
falling off a camel and spraining your ankle now counts as being killed in a drone strike.
Or as another posted said, drone striking the cemetery counts as well.
Just another BS story from the CIA about al-CIA-duh
Wow! What an awe-inspiring speech!! After listening to this guy lie his butt off , for most of my adult life, I’m supposed to take his word for anything? Yeah, ok
You have my respect and admiration for stomaching watching PedoJoe stumble through the speech written by his handlers.
they “kill” a terrorist everytime something bad happens in the polls.
what happened? oh the word recession. ok, i get it now.
Sleep with dogs get fleas.
So the CIA creates unnecessary wars in the USA and globally?
Why exactly do they exist.
CIA business plan from the start was based on deception.
plan = we create terrorist, we hunt them for funding and purpose, we kill our created terrorist once we are notified they are dead or the character has been around to long.
Amen
Well I guess this will stop the weekly killings in Chicago and every other Democratic City in the USA.
Biden is starting to build some wall and now says he’s killed his first terrorist. Me thinks he wants to be like Trump.
He probably died from natural causes due to his advanced age, but they’re anxious to mark a W in Biden’s litany of failures.
If it had been 2 years ago, Fauci would have said he died from Covid, and used it to say we need to get monthly booster shots.
It’s all politics
It’s all LIES
They killed him with old age…
It was probably a mercy killing considering how old he was
Well,do you think Joe qualifies?
Look! A squirrel!
If that is indeed what this is it’s pointless. The left (voter base) doesn’t give a crap about anything other than their own selfish agenda. They have a lot of subgroups that instead of routing for what’s best for their country they are more concerned about their unique selfish motives. Let him (FJB) take his victory lap it will be over in a day.
Agreed. Nov election is coming. Time to propped up a narrative then steal votes
Hmm they aren’t even downplaying the fact that the CIA goes around assassinating random people.
Didn’t even call it a military action.
Just, hey by the way just so you know our foreign intelligence service just murdered someone in a foreign country. Just so blatant.
did the guy even break any US laws?
Maybe this is a message to someone.
What is it supposed to be? Intimidation? They have nowhere near enough Hellfire or Tomahawk missiles for those “domestic violent extremists”.
and more by the day. violent and non violent.
It was messaging, pure and simple.
Not saying he didn’t have it coming, but so do lots of people
The Clinton’s do that as well.
As a Christian I have faith that God will deal with them in his own good time.
no apostrophe.
OMG; really?
We are still in a declared war with “those responsible for the September 11 attacks.” That was the 11/2001 Authorization of Military Force resolution (AUMF). Killing declare enemies in time of war is not murder under U.S. law.
A message? Coded language is more like it. A sign to some Terror cell that it’s ok to do your attack on US soil so now it looks legit due to retaliation. And we can stop the November elections due to security issues.
Let’s see the body or some sort of evidence this is real. If not then this is even bigger horse dung then what I said before. And it most certainly is a cover for allowing a terror attack response on our soil to shut down our elections in November.
It’s blatant all right, but I think the main message is being sent “over there”. Despite the suspicious timing of the strike, Al-Zawahri was clearly a world-class bad guy, a lifelong terrorist with active positions in multiple cells and orgs including the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. He had previous indictments for the multiple attacks on US Embassies abroad in 1998, and involvement in the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen before becoming a planner for the 9/11 attacks, and leading Al-Qaeda after Bin Laden. His death is no loss to any of us.
Poor POS died of schlong covid,
