Another rabid killer bites the dust
Ayman al-Zawahri, bin Laden's No. 2 butcher, dead by drone missile
Death, and justice, came from the sky.
Ayman al-Zawahri, relaxing on the balcony of his Haqqani Taliban-provided home in Kabul, was put out of his Islamist misery at 0618 local time, by two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles launched from an unmanned US drone loitering somewhere over the distant horizon—and controlled by a pilot in the US.
Zawahri & family had gone deep after his spiritual and terrorist boss was dispatched by a SEALs team back in 2011. Eventually, the Zawahri lot re-surfaced to breath and found shelter in a Kabul recently abandoned, in humiliating haste, by the US and NATO allies.
Zawahri must have felt reasonably safe to expose his sorry carcass almost daily to enjoy Kabul’s reinvigorating air from his balcony overlooking his serene surroundings (joke intended).
Bin Laden’s sidekick was, just like his mentor, the son of a prosperous family established in the then Kingdom of Egypt. The young Zawahri was a studious fellow, who eventually earned a master’s in surgery in parallel to studying radical Islamist theology and learning English and French.
At a very young age, Zawahri joined the Muslim Brotherhood, a global subversive/terrorist Sunni Muslim network. Married four times, Zawahri fathered a squad of daughters (plus one son). He was involved in numerous Islamist terror cells and was pursued by Egyptian police for years. Eventually, he, and his brother Muhammad, were sentenced to death for their Islamist agitation and terrorist activity. To evade the hangman, Zawahri escaped to Pakistan.
Zawahri scored his first international appearance in 1998 when he and bin Laden coordinated the bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. Eventually, Zawahri, already one of bin Laden’s lieutenants, merged his Egyptian Islamic Jihad with al-Qaeda. US intelligence named him the “operational” commander of the Twin Towers terrorist attack under bin-Laden’s leadership.
After 9/11, and bin-Laden & family seeking refuge in Pakistan, Zawahri emerged as the de-facto al Qaeda senior commander—and following bin Laden’s elimination, he was “formally” recognized as al-Qaeda’s reigning leader and a “more dangerous” terrorist than his deceased immediate superior.
Zawahri, it is certain, won’t be missed by anyone save his nearest Islamist gangsters and their brain-washed acolytes in the dens of Muslimdom. The sense of long-awaited satisfaction, triggered by his elimination, is caught succinctly in the rather irreverent quote below:
Well, finally, after a decade of terror this piece of sh*t has gone to hell. No he didn’t get to go hang out with any virgins, at least not the kind he promised so many others. Instead he got his ass handed a bunch of exorcist demons from hell to keep him company for eternity.
