Justice delayed is justice denied. That is why President Joe Biden can claim a significant victory in the battle against Islamist terrorism following the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul.
Al-Zawahiri was the leader of al Qaeda since 2011, an architect of the 9/11 attacks alongside Osama bin Laden and among the United States’ “most wanted” terrorists. In an address to the nation, Biden also said al-Zawahiri bore responsibility for other indiscriminate violence, including the 1998 attacks on US embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, in which 223 people died.
