World is safer place after Ayman al-Zawahiri's death: U.S. Secretary of State Blinken

The Hindu  

The world is a safer place following the death of Ayman al-Zawahiri, U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said, as he accused Afghanistan's Taliban regime of grossly violating its commitments to the international community by "hosting and sheltering" the al-Qaeda chief in Kabul. Mr. Blinken’s remarks came shortly after U. S. President Joe announced on Monday that an American “precision” drone strike killed al-Zawahiri, a key plotter of the 9/11 terrorist attacks who took over as the leader of al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden’s death in Pakistan in 2011, at a safe house in Afghanistan. Mr. Blinken said that by sheltering al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan, "the Taliban grossly violated the Doha Agreement and repeated assurances to the world that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used by terrorists to threaten the security of other countries." International manhunt Bin Laden was killed by U. S. special forces in Pakistan in 2011, but Mr. Al-Zawahiri eluded attempts on his life and an international manhunt until his death.
