US travelers warned of increased violence risk after Zawahiri killing
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Washington DC, August 3, 2022 – The US state department yesterday warned Americans travelling abroad they face an increased risk of violence after US forces killed Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri.

His death in a drone strike in Kabul over the weekend dealt the biggest blow to Al-Qaeda since the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011, prompting US president Joe Biden to declare that “justice had been delivered.”

Following the strike, the state department yesterday urged US citizens to “maintain a high level of vigilance and practice good situational awareness when traveling abroad.”

“Current information suggests that terrorist organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against US interests in multiple regions across the globe,” the department said in a statement.

“These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings.”

A senior official in the Biden administration said the 71-year-old Egyptian jihadist was on the balcony of a three-story house in the Afghan capital when targeted with two Hellfire missiles after dawn Sunday.

It was the first known over-the-horizon strike by the US on a target in Afghanistan since Washington withdrew its forces from the country on Aug 31 last year, days after the Taliban swept back to power.

The Taliban condemned the drone strike yesterday, but made no mention of casualties nor did they name Zawahiri.
