According to familiar sources with the situation, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a CIA drone
strike in Afghanistan. According to a person who spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss the matter, current and former officials began hearing
Sunday afternoon that al-Zawahiri had been killed in a drone strike, but the
government delayed releasing information until his death was
confirmed. White House officials declined to confirm al-Zawari's death but
said in a statement that the US had carried out a "successful"
counterterrorism operation against a key al-Qaeda target with no "civilian
casualties". According to a senior intelligence officer, a US ground team that was in Afghanistan to support the attack has now left.
