Shafaq News/ The US Associated Press announced on Tuesday the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri during a US drone strike in Afghanistan.

The agency said, quoting a source, that the US bombing was carried out in Afghanistan over the weekend.

For its part, the Afghan government said that the United States carried out a raid on a house in Kabul in clear violation of international principles and the Doha agreement.

Jarrah al-Ayun, who helped found the Egyptian Jihad, took over the leadership of al-Qaeda following the killing of bin Laden at the hands of US forces on May 2, 2011.

Before that, Al-Zawahiri was seen as bin Laden’s right-hand man and the main ideologue of Al-Qaeda.

Some experts believe that he was one of the main elements behind the attacks of September 11, 2001, as his name was at the time second to bin Laden in a list of 22 “most wanted terrorists” of the United States.

The US government has allocated a reward of $ 25 million for anyone who helps access it.
