The killing of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri in a CIA drone strike in Afghanistan raised questions from Republican representatives who are already upset with the US withdrawal from Kabul, which fell to the Taliban a year ago.
Joe Biden's announcement that the US had successfully killed the al-Qaeda leader was praised by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. However, Republican representatives shed lights on the issue of Al-Zawahiri’s presence in Kabul and on the close relationship that still links the Taliban movement to al-Qaeda.
