Joe Bidenthe president of United States, announced on Monday August 1 that a drone strike american had killed Ayman Al-Zawahirithe leader of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. “Anyone who attacks America will be hunted down, found and punished: this is the essence of Joe Biden’s message to the American people, to the world and to America’s enemies.”explains Matthew mabinFrance 24 correspondent in Washington (United States).

“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.
