Irish citizens will be safer travelling abroad after the US assassination of the leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, a Senator and former Irish and British army soldier has said.
Independent Senator Gerard Craughwell, who has served in both the Irish Defence Forces and British Army, said that the “danger” for Irish tourists in far-off locations has “now definitely lessened” with the death of al-Zawahiri.
US President Joe Biden revealed to the world yesterday that American special operatives had carried out a successful hit against the head of the Al Qaeda terrorist organisation in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
