'Justice has been delivered' says Joe Biden after Osama Bin Laden's former right hand man is killed in a drone strike
Al Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been killed by a US airstrike in Afghanistan, US president Joe Biden has confirmed as he told the world "justice has been done".Current and former officials began hearing on Sunday afternoon that Zawahiri had been killed in a drone strike, but the administration delayed releasing the information until his death could be confirmed, according to a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
Other family members were present, but they were unharmed and only Zawahiri was killed, officials added. He later said the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan - the name for the country after the Taliban's takeover last year - "strongly condemns this attack on any pretext and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the Doha Agreement", referring to an agreement thrashed out under former president Donald Trump that precipitated the collapse of the old, Western-backed government.
