nothing on al-Zawahiri??

Afghans cast doubt on Kabul killing of Al-Qaeda chief | 2 Aug 2022 | Many Afghans expressed shock or doubt Tuesday that Al-Qaeda's chief had been killed in Kabul by a US drone strike, saying they couldn't believe Ayman Al-Zawahiri had been hiding in their midst. "It's just propaganda," Fahim Shah, 66, a resident of the Afghan capital, told AFP. Late Monday, Joe Biden announced Zawahiri's assassination, saying, "justice has been delivered" to the Egyptian with a 25 million bounty on his head... "We have experienced such propaganda in the past, and there was never anything in it," Shah said. "In reality, I don't think he was killed here.”

Ayman al-Zawahiri 'dead' - Al-Qaeda boss dies from asthma in Afghan mountain hideout, reports claim | 20 Nov 2020 | Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri who took over after the death of Osama bin Laden has reportedly died in Afghanistan. Al-Zawahiri - sometimes dubbed Dr. Death - last appeared in a video message for the group on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the US. Arab News reports the terrorist, 68, died of natural causes related to asthma citing four sources in Pakistan and Afghanistan... An al-Qaeda translator told Arab News: "He died last week in Ghazni. He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment." A Pakistani security official added: "We believe he is no longer alive. We are firm that he has died of natural causes." Another source close to al-Qaeda said he died earlier this month and a small number of followers attended his funeral in Ghazni. "What we know is that he was having some breathing issues and has passed away somewhere in Afghanistan," they said.

Kevin:: "... the hapless Gutjahr, a more obvious terror suspect than Bin Laden ever was, who obviously needs to be arrested and interrogated. Anybody out there who can rendition him?"

Dylan's "License to Kill":

Now, he’s hell-bent for destruction, he’s afraid and confused

And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

All he believes are his eyes

And his eyes, they just tell him lies

But there’s a woman on my block

Sitting there in a cold chill

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
