A lifelong jihadist who became Osama bin Laden’s right hand man and then successor, al-Zawahiri waged a long war of terror against the US and its allies

The U.S. drone strike that killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri on the balcony of a Kabul safe house intensified global scrutiny Tuesday of Afghanistans Taliban rulers and further undermined their efforts to secure international recognition and desperately needed aid.

Radicalised in his teens, he had disagreements with bin Laden but merged his Islamic Jihad movement with al-Qaeda in the run-up to 9/11

The Taliban had promised in the 2020 Doha Agreement on the terms of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan that they would not harbor al-Qaeda members. Nearly a year after the U.S. militarys chaotic pullout from Afghanistan, al-Zawahris killing raises questions about the involvement of Taliban.
