Ayman al-Zawahiri
Ayman al-Zawahiri was an Egyptian physician and Islamic militant who served as the leader of al-Qaeda after the death of Osama bin Laden. He was a prominent figure in global jihadist circles and played a pivotal role in orchestrating terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies. Al-Zawahiri was involved in the planning of the September 11 attacks and later became a key spokesperson for al-Qaeda's ideology. He was ultimately killed in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, in July 2022, which marked a significant moment in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
