“Since the operation that saw the disappearance of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011, this 71-year-old Egyptian, a true theoretician of modern jihad, embodied within the organization the tutelary figure of a movement that knew to strike America in the heart. It was September 11, 2001. (…) The end of Al-Zawahiri is much more symbolic than strategic. Today, Al-Qaeda has mutated into a multitude of scattered organizations worldwide. (…) The old chief had not given an order to combatants for a long time”concludes Matthew mabin.
