Líder da Al-Qaeda morto em ataque de drone

August 2, 2022 - Os Estados Unidos mataram o líder supremo da al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, num ataque de drone no Afeganistão. Pensa-se que Al-Zawahiri foi um dos organizadores dos ataques terroristas do 11 de setembro de 2001 nos EUA.

Zawahiri was killed in a counter-terrorism operation carried out by the CIA in the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday. It was the biggest blow to the militant group since its founder Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces in 2011.

Zawahiri had been in hiding for years and the operation to locate and kill him was the result of “careful patient and persistent” work by the counter-terrorism and intelligence community, according to Reuters.
