Al Qaeda Leader Ayman al-Zawahiri Killed by US Drone Strike in Afghanistan

The AP and Politico are reporting that al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri was killed this weekend. al-Zawahiri was most likely the target of a U.S. drone stike in Kabul this past weekend.

Al-Zawahiri took over al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in a U.S. raid in 2011.

[i]I expect Biden to announce a formal apology to Al Qaeda as soon as he finds Al's lost phone number.[/i]

@anythingoes477 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

A dog was injured after the IS leader detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and three children.

President Trump said al-Baghdadi ran into a dead-end tunnel, "whimpering and crying and screaming", while being chased by military dogs.

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (a group that advises the President on defence matters) says the Malinois was "slightly wounded and fully recovering", but that the dog "performed a tremendous service."
