Taliban denies death of leader of Al-Qaeda

Representatives of the Taliban movement do not confirm the murder of the leader of Al-Qaeda Aiman ​​Az-Zawakhiri, writes Reuters.

According to them, they are still investigating the “statement” that he was killed by a high -precision rocket launched from an American drone.

The leaders of the Taliban remain silent about the Sunday attack and do not confirm the presence or death of Zavakhiri in Kabul. “The government and the leadership did not know what they declared or about any traces,” Sukhail Shakhin, appointed representative of Taliban at the UN, based in Doha.

told reporters.

Recall, Ayman Az-Zawakhiri was recognized as the organizer of attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 and has since been on the run. He headed Al -Qaeda after Osama Ben Laden was killed in Pakistan in 2011 – also as a result of an American special operation.

On August 2, US President Joe Biden announced the liquidation of a terrorist in Kabul. The high -precision blow was inflicted on the balcony of the house in the Afghan capital, in which Zavakhiri hid recently.
